Abstract:
A catheter retention collar for retaining a catheter on the skin of a patient in a desired position. The collar comprises a tubular member defining a bore for receiving and retaining a catheter therein. The tubular member defines a laterally projecting apertured member to facilitate securance of the retention collar to the skin. The apertured member may engage a pivot rod in pivoting relation therewith, with the pivot rod being carried on one side of a generally flat platform member, the other side of the platform member being adhesive-coated to permit adhesion to the skin of a patient.
