and mounted on adhesive release liner 35 the suture loop mounted on the release liner in this way forms the general shape of a 34 t 34 the t configuration provides handle 37 which the physician can easily grasp to remove the suture loop from the release liner 35 and which can be used to manipulate the suture loop to the desired position along the length of the catheter tubing prior to joining the outer ends to each other although the t configuration is the preferred configuration the suture loop could be provided on release liner in its fully extended position as shown in fig4 and simply peeled off by the physician prior to folding it over a catheter referring to fig4 the t configuration is more easily achieved by providing channel 39a in the first portion 40a of the adhesive strip and channel 39b in the second portion 40b of the adhesive strip channel 39a is positioned between holes 27a and 27b parallel to fold line 29 channel 39b is positioned between holes 27c and 27d also parallel to fold line 29 channels 39a and 39b overlie each other when the adhesive strip is folded over the catheter tubing thereby creating a single channel through which the catheter tubing passes.
