12. A kit for securing a medical article to an individual comprising the following components packaged together:
-
a base pad; a retainer supported by the base pad, the retainer having at least a first pair of opposing channels; an adapter comprising a clip having a pair of legs and a pair of laterally projecting protuberances, wherein the pair of legs can be squeezed toward each other so as to allow the clip to be slid out of the first pair of opposing channels, and wherein the adapter is selectively supported by the retainer at two or more incident angles; and instructions for use according to a method comprising coupling a catheter fitting carrying the catheter to the adapter, coupling the adapter to the retainer by squeezing the legs of the clip while guiding at least a portion of the clip into a first pair of opposing channels in the retainer, and securing the base pad to the individual with an adhesive.
