SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention comprises an anchor pad which securely fastens onto the body of the patient by means of an adhesive applied to one planar side ojE the pad. The opposite planar side of the pad includes one or more barbed uprif;hts which engage the suture holes commonly found in typical central line connectors, such as the triple-lumen connector described above. In the preferred embodiment, the barbed uprights correspond to the number, size and spacing of the connector suture holes.
The triple-:lumen connector mounts on the anchor pad of the present invention by aligning the suture holes in the plastic seat of the connector over the barbed uprights on the anchor pad. The connector is then pressed down over the barbs until the connector is secure. The configuration of the barbs permits movement of the connector toward the body of the patient but prevents movement in the opposite direction, thus preventing accidental disengagement.
When it is necessary or desirable to remove the central line connector, the barbs can be easily and quickly snipped off above the connector to allov~~ the connector to lift off of the barbed stumps away from the patient. Thus, the pain and discomfort associated with such central line catheters is avoided, while at the same time providing a secure connection.

Although the present invention is illustrated amd described herein in connection with a triple-lumen catheter, it should be understood that the principles of the invention appl~~r equally well to other types of catheters with various configurations.
The triple-lumen catheter 10 of Figure 1 comprises a central plan.3r seat 12 formed of a soft pliable plastic, having a pain of suture holes 14 formed therein. Extending away from the seat: in one direction is a cannula 16 which l0 inserts into the injection site 17 in the body of the patient, in accordance with standard catheterization procedures.
Extending away from the seat in the opposite direction are three lengths: of I'V tubing 18, each ending in a standard IV
connector 20, such ~ns, for example, a lure-type lock or septum cap. These standard IV connectors 20 can receive compatible connectors (not shown) formed on the end of IV supply tubing, or can receive manual injections for administering medication or other fluids directly into a central vein of the patient'.
In order to secure the triple-lumen catheter 10 at the injection site, the seat 12 is typically positioned on the body and sutured to the skin of the patient by means of the suture holes 14. Over time, however, as explained above, the sutures eithear loosen or tear completely through the seat material. The patient experiences pain and discomfort, and risks infection as a result.
Referring to figure 2, there is shown the anchor pad 22 of the present invention comprising a planar pad 24 having a self-adhesive material applied to the bottom surface 26 thereof. The adhesive secures the anchor pad 22 to the patient's body without sutures.
A pair of barbed uprights 28 integrally mount on the opposite side 24 of the pad 22. The barbs 28 are spaced and configured to receive the suture holes 14 on the seat 12 of the triple-lumen catheter 10 (shown in Figure 1). In addition, the' diameter of the cylindrical portion of the uprights (not including the barbs) is sized to slightly deform WO 92/19309 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ LI ~ PCT/US92/03923-1 the seat of the connector as it press fits onto the pad.
Preferably, the seat deforms elastically to be securely retained on t:he anchor pad.
It will be noted that the barbs 28 elastically germit the seat 12 to pass dorm over the jagged edges of the barbs, but prevent movement of the seat in the opposite direction. Thus, the anchor pad of 'the present invention securely mounts the seat of the triple-lumen catheter on the patient s body. Not only is the p<itient relieved of pain, but the risk of complete or partial disengagement is eliminated.
In order to remove the catheter, the barbs are simply snipped off so that the seat can be easily lifted over the remaining stumps. The pad is then removed from the patient with minimal discomfort. The barbs are constructed from a material which is :Less elastic than the material comprising the connector seat but which is easily severable.
Therefore, the anchor pad of the present invention presents a significant advance in the use and attachment of central line catheters. While the preferred arrangement of the present invention has been illustrated and described, it should be understood that various changes and modifications to the system illustrated will readily come to mind which fall within the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
