ABSTRACT:
A medical tube securing device, for securing tubes such as gastrostomy tubes which project from a person's body, comprises an openable pouch having a hole in the back portion thereof. A tube is pulled through the hole in the pouch, the pouch is secured to the body of the user, and the pouch is closed, thereby enclosing therewithin the free portion of the tube. In this manner, the portion of the tube projecting from the user's body is neither suceptible to being pulled by the user's hands, nor likely to be engaged by objects around the user; hence, the incidence of accidental, premature removal of the tube is greatly reduced.
In an alternate embodiment, fasteners are also provided to reduce the possibility of the tube sliding into the user's body.
