ABSTRACT:
A tube construction and, specifically, a nasogastric tube construction is provided for patient treatment. An elongated generally flexible tube of a selected diameter permits insertion of one end of the tube into a body orifice, such as the nasal cavity, of the patient. The flexible tube is of a selected length to extend from the body orifice to a remote connection. A tube sheath covers a predetermined portion of the tube adjacent to the body orifice. The tube sheath has one end positioned adjacent the body orifice and is of sufficient length to extend from the body orifice to a position along the tube generally beyond the normal reach of the patient. Fastening straps affixed to the tube sheath anchor the tube sheath to the patient so that an end of the tube sheath is held in position adjacent the body orifice to prevent patient access to the tube covered by the sheath. The fastening straps are inelastic to prevent the patient from pulling the tube sheath away from the orifice and gaining access to the portion of the tube proximate the orifice. The tube sheath and fastening straps prevent removal of the tube by the patient.
