Abstract

The fixation device (100) for fixing a lumen (12) of a medical device (14) includes a body (110) configured to be removably fixed to the skin of a user. The body includes a first body portion (112) including a first cavity surface (118) and a second body portion (142) including a second cavity surface (148) pivotally coupled to the first cavity surface. The first and second cavity surfaces together define a cavity (170). The fixation device further includes an insert (180) fixedly coupled to the body and at least partially received within the cavity. The insert includes a groove (184) configured to receive the lumen of the medical device. The body is transformable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, and the insert is correspondingly transformable between a released state and a locked state. In the released state, the groove is configured to receive the lumen therein. In the locked state, the lumen is secured within the groove.
