ABSTRACT:
An improved oral endotracheal tube protector device for protecting and securing in place an endotracheal tube. The device includes a substantially straight, cylindrical tube member having a bore extending therethrough, with a circumferential band to indicate proper positioning of the device in close proximity to the proximal end, and circumferential ridges at the distal end to which tape is attached. In use, the tube protector is slidably placed over the endotracheal tube and advanced until the circumferential band engages the patient's teeth. The tube protector is then taped to the endotracheal tube, and to the patient's face.
