Abstract
A medical device for securing tubing such as intravenous catheter tubing to a patient. The device is made up of two lobes, each being made up of a channel and a tab. The device is hinged so that the tabs can be brought together. When the tabs are brought together, the tubing is gripped between the gripping channels. The gripping channels have specially adapted surfaces to facilitate the gripping of the tubing. The gripping channels may also be lined with a tacky material or contoured liners.
