Appl. No.:

15/336537

Inventors:

- Covington GA, US
Gary Peters - Peachtree City GA, US
Cory McCluskey - Encinitas CA, US

International Classification:

A61M 25/02
A61M 25/00

Abstract:

An anchoring system for securing a catheter to a patient includes an anchor pad and a retainer. The retainer is supported by the anchor pad and may include a base and a cover. A groove upon the base can be arranged to receive a branching site of a catheter where the lumens merge distal to the insertion site. One or more posts may also protrude from the base to the cover at a position disposed between the two distal branches of the catheter. The cover closes over the base securing the branching site between the groove and the posts. The contact between the retainer and catheter thereby inhibits inadvertent motion of the catheter upon the patient. A latch mechanism may be disposed upon the retainer to maintain the cover in a closed position over the branching site of the catheter on the base.
