ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube holder made in one simple piece that slips over the tube from one side and locks in place by a snap action. The use of plastic material provides a hinge for opening and closing the holder with the resiliency of the plastic providing a snap action for locking and unlocking the device. The lock is a positive one resulting from the abutting of two flat members and guards against further closure as well as opening. The portion in the patient's mouth is reinforced to provide a bite block. A flange against the lips and face allow fastening to the patient with tape, straps or adhesive means. Openings are provided to allow access for probes or catheters alongside the endotracheal tube.
