Cath-Secure Catheter & Tube Holders

An unsecured catheter or drainage tube is more than an inconvenience — accidental pulls cause pain, tissue trauma, dislodgement, and unplanned line replacements. Cath-Secure holders anchor catheters, feeding tubes, drains, and other lines firmly to the skin so movement doesn't translate into tension at the insertion site. That single job, done reliably, is what makes these holders a fixture in hospitals, long-term care, and home settings alike.

The line covers the common configurations clinicians reach for. The Cath-Secure Dual Tab Catheter Holder (5445-4) uses two closure tabs to grip larger-diameter lines and hold them in place through repositioning. The Multi-Purpose Tube Holder (54452) pairs a butterfly base with a single hook-and-loop tab for quick, repeatable access, while the Multi-Purpose Tube Holder (5445-3) accommodates large-lumen tubing on a 3" x 1.25" base with a long adjustable tab. For catheters needing extra hold, the Cath-Secure Plus (5445-6) combines a butterfly base with a 2.5" tab for a secure, low-profile anchor.

Skin tolerance matters when a device stays taped for days. These holders use hypoallergenic, latex-free, DEHP-free adhesives — several with an alcohol-soluble formulation that lifts cleanly at removal to reduce skin stripping. The reusable hook-and-loop tabs let caregivers open, inspect, and re-secure a line without peeling and reapplying the whole base, which spares fragile skin over repeated dressing changes.

Choosing the right model comes down to tube diameter and how often the line needs access: single-tab butterfly styles suit routine holds, dual-tab versions handle heavier or wider lines.
