1. A method of manufacturing a securement device for retaining a medical line to the body of a patient comprising:

  • affixing a sheet of a backing material to a sheet of adhesive-backed foam material;

    cutting a first pattern through the sheet of foam material without cutting through the sheet of backing material, the pattern at least partially defining an anchor pad;

    cutting a second pattern through both the sheet of foam material and the sheet of backing material, the second pattern defining a release layer for exposing the adhesive backing of the anchor pad prior to attaching the securement device to the patient'"'"'s body;

    forming a retainer that defines a locator mechanism adapted to interact with a portion of the medical line and thereby guide the medical line into a position relative to the retainer;

    attaching the retainer to the upper surface of the anchor pad; and

    applying a patch of an adhesive material to an upper surface of the retainer.
