ABSTRACT:
A system for securing an endo-tracheal tube or other medical article in position upon a patient includes a head contact member, retainer, and attachment members which can be adjustably attached between the head contact member and the retainer. Certain embodiments of the head contact member have a concave shape which follows a portion of the patient's skull and may have a rigid or flexible structure. In certain embodiments, a flexible head contact member includes straps forming a closed loop. In certain embodiment, the attachment members are integral to one or both of the head contact member and the retainer. The attachment member attaches to the retainer which grips the endo-tracheal tube or other medical article.
