Patent attributes
A catheter securement device holds a medical article by securing an anchor member to an attachment region of a neonate. The attachment region is located on the body of the neonate. The catheter securement device defines a central channel into which at least a portion of the medical article is inserted. The catheter securement device includes at least one mounting wing and a body member. The mounting wing contacts the anchor member over the attachment region and lifts the medical article away from the neonate's skin. At least a portion of the body member is located in a distal direction from the attachment region and does not directly contact the neonate's skin. A soft material may be inserted between the distal portion of the body member and the neonate's skin to further inhibit rocking of the medical article upon the neonate.
