ABSTRACT:
A device for releasably retaining a drainage tube in place at its site of exit from a patient's body. The device includes a resilient, adhesive pad for attachment to a patient's skin and a flexible plastic retainer secured to the upper surface of the pad, the retainer including a mounting plate having an enlarged recess extending inwardly from its periphery and a flexible strap formed integrally with the plate and extending outwardly through the recess and beyond the periphery of the plate. The strap is Y-shaped in configuration with its diverging arms secured to the plate at points disposed on opposite sides of an opening formed in an upstanding wall of the plate. The tongue portion of the Y-shaped strap may be reversely turned and inserted through that opening from the direction of the spaced arms. A latching member on the opposite side of the wall has depending teeth which are engagable with teeth on the reversely-turned strap to secure the strap about a drainage tube.
