ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an apparatus for preventing tug trauma to a patient's skin caused by movement of a tube having an insertion means which may be inserted into the patient's skin, comprising a member having a first side and a second side, a retaining structure affixed to the first side, the retaining structure having a cylindrical-shaped passageway extending through the retaining structure, the passageway having an entry opening positioned at about a center section of the first side and shaped to receive the tube and having an exit opening positioned toward a first perimeter section of the first side and shaped to permit the tube to exit the passageway, the passageway having a diameter shaped to restrict movement of the tube through the passageway so that the entry opening becomes a center of rotation of the member when a lateral force would be placed on a section of the tube extending past the entry opening, and the second side containing an adhesive means to adhere the member to the patient's skin.
