Abstract
A medical tubing anchor includes a flexible anchor member and a base support having an adhesive side and a non-adhesive side. The flexible anchor member is a generally elongated rectangular solid having two elongated sides, two ends, a base, and a top. The anchor base of the anchor member is mounted on the base support non-adhesive side. The anchor member includes a plurality of stations defined by passageways transversing the anchor member and extending from the anchor member top towards the anchor member base. At least one tube holder having a generally cylindrical cross-section is located along the passageway in each of the stations for receiving medical tubing. The tube holders extend from one elongated side of the anchor member to the other elongated side. A keeper on the anchor member keeps medical tubing disposed in the stations from inadvertent release.
