ABSTRACT:
A tube holder comprised of a foam strip which has apertures in the strip running the length of the strip at spaced intervals. The resilient nature of the foam facilitates holding a trachea or nasogastric tube sufficiently firmly in place when the strip is wrapped around the patient's head and two of the apertures are aligned so that the tube can be inserted through the apertures into a patient's body orifice. The apertures may be circular or slits. An alternative embodiment uses a similar foam material but has a single aperture at one end for inserting the tube through, with the other end of the strip wrapping around a person's head and being wrapped around the tube and fixed by Velcro or similar substances.
