1. An apparatus, comprising:
a stabilization device having a distal end portion, a proximal end portion, and a longitudinal centerline extending between the distal end portion and the proximal end portion, the stabilization device configured to stabilize a vascular access device at least partially disposed within a vein of a patient, the stabilization device including:
a base surface forming a contoured portion that may be placed in contact with a target location of the patient and a recessed portion that may be at least partially aligned with and spaced apart from the vein of the patient when the contoured portion is in contact with the target location of the patient; and
a coupling surface configured to be placed in contact with an adapter coupled to a proximal end portion of the vascular access device, the coupling surface including a first portion and a second portion,
wherein the second portion includes at least one side channel extending substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline of the stabilization device, and
wherein the first portion includes at least one protrusion extending substantially parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the stabilization device and that is configured to selectively engage the adapter, the at least one protrusion being positioned outside of the at least one side channel.
