A tube-retaining device is provided for holding a medical tube in a fixed position on a patient's body proximate the tube insertion site. The tube-retaining device includes a base, and clamp mounted on the base for engaging and holding the tube.

Locking teeth are formed on the arms for adjusting the space between the arms in the closed position. The clamp is adjustable for accommodating different size tubes.
