Abstract: Prepared tape for securing devices, such as inserted intravenous needles, catheters, and/or associated tubing and tubing components comprising lengths of a base tape and an anchoring tape, each having a pressure sensitive surface and a nonadherent backing, the backings being joined together so that at least one segment of the anchoring tape's adhesive surface can be wrapped onto the device to be secured by adhesion of the base tape to a patient's skin or a support. The adhesive surfaces of the tapes are covered prior to use by release materials provided with pull-tabs. An edge of the base tape is preferably idented to stabilize the patient's skin adjacent the point of entry of an inserted needle.
