A catheter securement device adapted to be adhesively mounted to the skin of a patient to secure a catheter comprising a distal tube member, said device comprising: a flexible, thin, sheet-like base member comprising a proximal edge, a distal edge and a midportion located between said proximal ed
1. A catheter securement device adapted to be adhesively mounted to the skin of a patient to secure a catheter comprising a distal tube member, said device comprising: a flexible, thin, sheet-like base member comprising a proximal edge, a distal edge and a midportion located between said proximal edge and said distal edge of the base member;a releasable, flexible, thin, sheet-like retention member comprising a fixed end, a releasable end, a proximal edge and a distal edge, said fixed end attached to said base member and said releasable end releasably attached to said base member, said retention member substantially parallel to said base member when said releasable end is attached to said base member; said distal edge of the retention member located adjacent to the midportion of the base member when the releasable end is attached to said base member;wherein said distal edge of said retention member is laterally offset from said distal edge of said base member; andwherein said retention member is configured to form an uplift focus area located at said midportion of the base member when upward force is applied to said distal tube member such that said base member tents up when the upward force is applied to the distal tube member. 2. The device of claim 1, further comprising a transverse midline, wherein said distal edge of said retention member is offset from said distal edge of said base member at said transverse midline. 3. The device of claim 2, wherein said transverse midline is laterally centered on said base member. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein said uplift focus area is located in the middle 50% of said base member. 5. The device of claim 3, wherein said uplift focus area is located in said midportion of said base member along said transverse midline of said base member. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein said retention member is smaller than said base member. 7. A combination of a catheter securement device adapted to be adhesively mounted to the skin of a patient and a catheter comprising a distal tube member, said combination comprising: a flexible, thin, sheet-like base member comprising a proximal edge, a distal edge and a midportion;a releasable, flexible, thin, sheet-like retention member comprising a fixed end, a releasable end, a proximal edge and a distal edge, said fixed end attached to said base member and said releasable end releasably attached to said base member, wherein said retention member is releasably securable across said catheter when said catheter is disposed on said base member such that a portion of said distal edge of said retention member extends across said distal tube member, said portion of said distal edge of said retention member being laterally offset from said distal edge of said base member along a horizontal axis extending through a transverse midline of the base member;wherein said portion of said distal edge of said retention member extending across said distal tube member is offset from said distal edge of said base member, whereby said distal tube member is restrained by said portion of said distal edge, and whereby said portion of said distal edge of retention member is configured to form an uplift focus area located at said midportion of said base member when upward force is applied to said distal tube member. 8. The combination of claim 7, wherein said distal edge of said retention member is curved. 9. The combination of claim 7, wherein said retention member is smaller than said base member. 10. The combination of claim 9, wherein said base member and said retention member are dog-bone shaped. 11. The combination of claim 7, wherein the location of said catheter on said base member defines a transverse midline, and wherein said uplift focus area is located on said transverse midline. 12. The combination of claim 7, wherein said uplift focus area is located in the middle 50% of said base member. 13. A catheter securement device removably adhered to a patient's skin to secure a catheter housing with a plurality of distal tube members comprising: a base member defining a perimeter with an upper side and an underside, the base member comprising a distal edge opposite a proximal edge and a first end opposite a second end;a retention member defining a perimeter with a distal edge opposite a proximal edge and a fixed end fixedly attached to the upper side of the base member and a free end releaseably attached to the upper side of the base member, the distal edge of the retention member laterally offset from the distal edge of the base member along the entire length of the distal edge of the retention member and the proximal edge of the retention member flush with the proximal edge of the base member along the length of the proximal edge of the retention member. 14. The catheter securement device of claim 13, wherein the perimeter of the retention member is smaller than the perimeter of the base member. 15. The catheter securement device of claim 14, further comprising an adhesive layer on the upper side of the base member located underneath the retention member configured to receive the catheter housing. 16. The catheter securement device of claim 14, further comprising an uplift focus area where a force applied to the plurality of distal tube members is transmitted to the catheter securement device. 17. The catheter securement device of claim 16, wherein the uplift focus area is located at the distal edge of the retention member. 18. The catheter securement device of claim 17, wherein the uplift focus area is substantially midway between the distal edge and the proximal edge of the base member. 19. The catheter securement device of claim 18, wherein the base member tents up when the force is applied to the plurality of distal tube members.
