Wearable percutaneous catheter/tube holders are adhesive devices designed to secure catheters, tubes, or drains (such as IV lines, epidural catheters, or drainage tubes) to a patient’s skin without the need for sutures. They provide a stable, non-invasive way to prevent dislodgment while allowing for easy access and monitoring of the insertion site, often featuring transparent film for visibility of the area.
These devices are typically single-use and may include mechanisms like Velcro or mechanical closures to maintain fixation. Regulation and classification vary by jurisdiction, but they are generally considered medical devices intended for temporary use in clinical or home settings. Availability depends on local healthcare systems and supply chains.
