ABSTRACT:
A disposable device is provided for securing cords and tubes during surgical, or other medical operations or medical services, or the like, by which cords and/or tubes extending to or from the patient may be conveniently fastened, for example to the paper or fabric sheet covering the patient during surgery, to the bedside railings or to the patient directly during intravenous injections or drainage, and so on. The device of the invention comprises a thin flexible pad having a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side so that it may be removably attached to the aforesaid sheet, bed-rail or the like, and it also has an elongated flexible strip portion attached to, or integral with the pad, having a velcro element affixed to its distal end. In use, the pad is adhesively attached to a convenient supporting surface, such as described above, and the strip is wrapped around the tube or cord to be secured by the device. The velcro element is then pressed into the pad itself, or into a tab attached to the pad, the pad or tab being made of fabric suitable for receiving the velcro element in fastening relationship therewith. The device, in this manner, serves as an appropriate means for securely holding the tube or cord and for anchoring the tube or cord to the appropriate supporting surface.
