Lighted tubing includes an elongate wall and a light source. The elongate wall defines an interior channel. A conductor may be positioned adjacent to and extending from the light source to conduct light produced by the light source along the wall. A method of securing medical tubing includes the steps of providing medical tubing, providing a light source, attaching the light source to an elongate wall of the medical tubing, and the light source indicating the location of the wall in a dark environment.
