An anchoring system includes a simply-structured device that permits a portion of a catheter tube or similar medical article to be easily anchored to a patient, desirably without the use of tape or needles and suturing. A unitary retainer desirably includes a base connected to a cover assembly by way of flexible hinges. The retainer is attached to a flexible anchor pad including an adhesive bottom surface, which can be attached to the patient's skin. A catheter is secured within a channel formed between posts of the retainer. The cover assembly is reproducibly positioned over the base by bending the flexible hinges, and the cover assembly is latched to the base. The posts provide a universal feature such that the anchoring system can adapt to and receive a variety of catheters and catheter fittings by providing at least one post that is movable relative to at least one other post.

Système de fixation consistant en un dispositif de structure simple permettant de fixer sans difficultés sur un patient une partie de tuyau de cathéter ou un article médical de même type, sans utiliser de bande adhésive ni d'aiguilles et de suture. Une unité de fixation comporte une base accouplée à un couvercle au moyen de charnières flexibles. Cette unité de fixation est attachée à une pastille de fixation souple possédant une surface inférieure adhésive pouvant être collée sur la peau du patient. On fixe le cathéter à l'intérieur d'un canal situé entre de petits piliers de l'unité de fixation. Le couvercle est placé de façon reproductible au-dessus de la base par incurvation des charnières flexibles et verrouillé à la base. Les petits piliers créent une caractéristique polyvalente conférant une adaptabilité au système de fixation, ce qui lui permet de recevoir une variété de cathéters et d'accessoires de cathéter, au moyen d'au moins un pilier mobile par rapport à au moins un autre pilier.
