ABSTRACT:
A gastrostomy tube retainer comprising a patient base, a venting tube extension cover connected to the patient base, and a torso wrap connected to the patient base. The patient base and venting tube extension cover protectively surround the retention button and venting tube extension of surgically implanted gastrostomy tube and are secured to the gastrostomy tube recipient by the torso wrap. In operation, the gastrostomy tube retainer tends to inhibit the non-prescribed removal of the gastrostomy tube by the tube recipient.
