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;

    creating a recess in the foam material on the side opposite the side to which the sheet of backing material is affixed, the recess defining at least two surfaces that extend generally normal to the surface of the foam material, the two surfaces spaced apart by a distance at least as great as a lateral dimension of the portion of the medial line retained by the securement device so as to form a locator mechanism adapted to interact with a the portion of the medical line and thereby guide the medical line into a position relative to the recess; and

    applying a patch of an adhesive material to the foam material on the side opposite the side to which the sheet of backing material is affixed, the patch of adhesive being located so as to lie at least partially between the two surfaces once the securement device is formed.
