ABSTRACT:
A tracheostomy tube dressing and support device unit used for holding a tracheostomy tube in place and holding a primary wound dressing, such as a sterile gauze pad, next to a tube insertion site in the front of a patient's neck. The unit includes an elastic bi-directional wrap stretchable in opposite directions along a length of the wrap. One end of the wrap includes hook fasteners for engaging an opposite end of the wrap and holding it in place around the neck. The wrap includes a window opening with a pair of hook fastener strips attached to opposite sides of the window opening and on an outside of the wrap. The hook fastener strips are used for releasable receipt through flange openings in opposite sides of a tracheostomy tube flange. When the hook fastener strips are threaded through the flange openings, the strips are secured to loop fastener landing pads thus holding the tracheostomy tube firmly in place. Attached to an inside of the wrap are a plurality of hook fasteners on opposite side of the window opening for holding the wound dressing. The wound dressing is adapted for receipt around and next to a portion of the tracheostomy tube and the tube insertion site.
