ABSTRACT:
This invention is a surgical retainer device for temporarily, but movably, affixing in place, a tube or catheter as it passes through the skin or enters a body cavity. The retainer is adhesively attached to the skin and is constructed in such a way to hold firmly the tube or catheter that penetrates the skin and enters a space within the body. The device may be used to place a medication or ointment at the site of the skin entry. The retainer utilizes a compression or friction fitting which allows the tube or catheter to be moved in or out of the opening through the skin. The device is especially suitable for retaining a chest tube during treatment of pneumothorax although its use is not so limited.
