ABSTRACT:
A device for supporting and retaining a tracheostomy tube or an endotracheal tube of the type having a tube including a flexible support flange and an inner cannula having a locking means which connects the inner cannula to the tube. The device includes a holder base having a uniquely shaped tube receiving opening designed to securely retain the tube therein and which includes at least one through-slot extending outward from the opening for receiving the locking means therethrough and preventing contact between the locking means of the inner cannula and the holder base. The device includes a removable tab which extends into the opening, a removable support strap for releasably securing the holder to the patient and an anchor strap for anchoring a circuit in place. In alternate preferred embodiments, the tube receiving opening may be triangular or any number of shapes and include through slots extending outward therefrom, and the body is a narrow portion which allows the face of the support flange to remain visible when the holder base is positioned for use.
