ABSTRACT:
An endotracheal tube stabilizer avoids the pain of repeatedly stripping tape from the face of a patient, which affixes an endotracheal tube in position, and avoids damage caused by continuous pressure on one spot of a patient's mouth and teeth on a bit block by providing a straight mouthpiece with an outwardly projecting, integral fixation flange held in position by strands around the head which are received in holes in the fixation flange. The entire mouthpiece including the fixation flange is longitudinally slit with an opening substantially smaller than the outside circumference of the tube, so that the tube may be compressed for sidewise insertion.
