A fitting for use in performing a vascular puncture includes a system for rapidly and securely stabilizing an intravascular catheter or needle to a patient\s skin upon insertion of the needle or catheter into a blood vessel. The hub of the needle or catheter has upper and lower lateral wings extending from its opposite sides. The wings are folded up over the hub and gripped together while a vascular puncture is made and then the lower wings, which have adhesive under surfaces, are released and dabbed onto the skin to rapidly stabilize the fitting. The upper wings can be taped down over the lower wings to effect a more permanent attachment of the fitting.

A fitting for use in forming a vascular puncture comprising an elongate hub having a longitudinal axis, a blood vessel-entering element extending axially from one end of said hub, tubing attachment means at the other end of said hub and means for stabilizing the fitting on a patient\s skin upon insertion of said blood vessel-entering element into a blood vessel, said stabilizing means including first and second substantially laminar wings extending laterally from said hub on opposite sides of said axis respectively, a third substantially laminar wing extending laterally from said hub under one of said first and second wings, each of said first, second and third wings being capable of independent flexing movements about said hub and said third wing having an undersurface with contact adhesive means covering a portion of said surface, wherein said undersurface of said third wing comprises a hub-covering portion, an outer gripping portion and a central portion between said hub-covering portion and said gripping portion and wherein said contact adhesive is provided on said central portion.
