A catheter holder has a pad of medical grade adhesive material having one surface for attachment to the skin of a wearer, and a pair of tapes secured to and extending from the other surface of the pad. A multiple use adhesive is placed on a surface of at least one tape which surface faces generally towards the other tape. With such an arrangement the two, tapes can be stuck together to enclose the catheter and at the same time the tape carrying the adhesive sticks to the adjacent wall of the catheter so preventing logitudinal movement of the catheter relative to the pad.

Why it's free to use
- Filed June 21, 1990 and granted December 18, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended June 21, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by June 21, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
