ABSTRACT:
A retention device, particularly useful for drainage tubes and the like, having a pad for adhesive attachment to a patient's skin at the exit/entry site for a post-surgical drainage tube. The device includes a retainer body secured to the pad and provided with a strap to be looped and tightened about the drainage tube for immobilizing that tube. A passage in the body receives the free end of the strap and a latching mechanism prevents retraction of the strap unless the sides of the body are squeezed towards each other to alter the configuration of the body's side and top walls and cause lateral disengagement of a restraining pawl from the ratchet teeth of the strap.
