摘要：A catheter anchoring device is provided for securely anchoring a catheter to apatient's skin. The catheter anchoring device is particularly well suited to secure anepidural catheter proximate to an insertion site. The catheter anchoring device includes aplurality of channels which receive a section of the catheter body such that a portion ofthe received section of the catheter body lies generally transverse to an axis defined bythe indwelling portion of the catheter. An additional anchoring device also can be used toanchor a catheter/fluid supply tube interconnection to the skin of a patient. In connectionwith epidural catheterization, one anchoring device can be attached to the anterior of thepatient's torso, and the other anchoring device can be positioned on the posterior of thepatient's torso and proximate to the point of insertion. This arrangement improves thecomfort of the patient and makes the interconnection between the catheter and the fluidtube more readily accessible.
