Abstract:
A medical device securement system is configured to secure medical devices such as catheters in place. The securement system includes an anchor pad that attaches to a patient's skin. A malleable support base is attached to an upper surface of the anchor pad. The support base has front and back inclined surfaces that are separated by an offset surface that extends generally normal to both of the inclined surfaces. A spot of adhesive is applied to one or more of the inclined surfaces. A catheter assembly includes a connector having a first connector portion with a diameter larger than an adjacent second structure. The catheter assembly is attached to the support base with the first connector portion engaged with and supported by the back inclined surface, and the second connector portion engaged with and supported by the front inclined surface.

Claim (Index 16):
A method, comprising:\n providing a medical line assembly having a catheter and a medical tube, the catheter having a hub and the medical tube having a connector, the connector attached to the hub so that the catheter communicates with the medical tube, the connector having a first diameter, the hub having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter; attaching a securement device to the skin of a patient, the securement device comprising a support base extending therefrom, the support base having a first support surface and a second support surface; and resting the engaged catheter hub and connector on the support base so that a portion of the catheter hub is in contact with and supported by the first support surface and the connector is in contact with and supported by the second support surface.
