ABSTRACT:
A device for removing monitoring tubes, especially nasogastric tubes, which have come in contact with bodily secretions from hospitalized patients, in a sanitary manner using a plastic housing canister open at both ends in which is affixed a long, thin plastic sheath. The device is used by removing the attached cap and introducing the free end of the monitoring tube into the mouth of the canister and then into the blind tip of the fully retracted sheath. One hand grasps the indwelling tube by grasping the surrounding sheath and the tube and gently pulling the sheath and tube to its fullest extension. The completely encased tube remains in the sheath and the cap is replaced over the canister for disposal in a sanitary fashion.
