a device anchor comprising an anchor body, the anchor body defining a channel having an inlet at a first end of the channel and an outlet at a second end of the channel, the anchor body comprising a plurality of paired thinned sections located along an outer perimeter of the channel, the anchor body comprising a platform defining a platform hole, wherein each one of the plurality of paired thinned sections define a space at a top portion of the channel, the channel comprising a plurality of holes located along a bottom of the channel, wherein each one of the plurality of holes is located between adjacent pairs of thinned sections, wherein the channel is zig-zag shaped.

2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising a plurality of walls, wherein the plurality of walls define spaces between the plurality of walls, and wherein the spaces define the plurality of channels.

3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , the apparatus further comprising a cap having a cap body having a shape corresponding to the edge portion of the body, an edge of the cap body having a lip operable create a friction fit with the edge portion of the body.

4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the cap comprises at least one opening, the opening located on the cap corresponding to a location of an intersection between at least one channel of the plurality of channels and the edge portion.

5. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of channels is sized to operably maintain at least one tube.

6. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the tube is a catheter.

7. The apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one curve is operable to maintain a location of the tube relative to the body.

8. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of channels are orthogonal to the hole.

9. A method of forming, the method comprising:

(a) forming a body having an inner portion and an edge portion, the edge portion defining a terminal boundary of the body, the body defining at least one surface spanning the inner portion and the edge portion, wherein the body is planar;
