1. A method for stabilizing a catheter at a patient, comprising:

  • providing a delivery device, the device comprising;

    a frame, wherein the frame includes;

    a catheter hub configured to couple to the catheter,a stabilization hub,a flexible lateral member defining a lumen and extending from a distal region of the catheter hub to a proximal region of the stabilization hub, anda fluidic channel that fluidically communicates with the catheter and passes through the lumen of the flexible lateral member, anda needle shield coupled to the distal region of the catheter hub and configured to capture at least a portion of a needle as the needle is withdrawn from the catheter hub;

    operating in a folded configuration, wherein the flexible lateral member is in a folded configuration and wherein the stabilization hub is retained in an angularly displaced position relative to the catheter hub;

    operating in an unfolded configuration following insertion of at least a part of the catheter into the patient at the insertion site, wherein the stabilization hub is at least partially reverted from the angularly displaced position relative to the catheter hub; and

    operating in a secured configuration, wherein the frame is secured to the patient at a set of anchoring points distributed about the insertion site, thereby stabilizing the catheter to the patient.
