A catheter button system for anchoring a catheter to a patient's body tissue, consists of a catheter button having a primary aperture for snugly receiving a catheter tube, and at least one secondary aperture. A cord loop extends through the secondary aperture. The loop is for catching a surgeon's suture needle for fastening the button system to the patient's body tissue. Preferably, the button consists of separate upper and lower components, and the cord loop holds the button components together, as well as serving to anchor the button to a patient's body with a stitch of suture thread. Preferably, the primary aperture is central to the button, and two secondary aperture are spaced equidistant to the primary aperture, on opposing sides of the button. The invention also relates to a method for anchoring a suture to a patient's body, by joining a button to the suture, the button having at least one pre-formed loop. The button is then anchored to the patient's body, by passing a suture needle through the pre-made loop and stitching the loop to the body tissue.
