Abstract
A securement device () secures a medical article () to the body of a patient and prevents longitudinal movement of the medical article () relative to the securement device (). The securement device () includes a base portion () that is disposed over at least a part of a securement piece (). The securement piece () forms a channel () configured to receive at least a portion of the medical article (). The device () includes at least one actuator (). The at least one actuator () is coupled with the securement piece () and configured to move the securement piece () between open position and a closed position. When the securement piece () is in the open position, it can receive at least a portion of the medical article (). When the securement piece () is in the closed position, it prevents the received medical article () from moving in the longitudinal direction relative to the securement device (). In some embodiments the securement piece () has engagement members () extending from the inner surface of the securement piece (). In an embodiment, the securement device () includes an opening () that receives an outwardly extending member of the medical article ().
