ABSTRACT:
A non-adhesive retaining device for medical-surgical tubes, such as endotracheal tubes or nasal cannulae, have a soft plastic staging member held by a headband in contact with the upper lip adjacent to the nose with a latex rubber cuff band grasping the tube. This assembly forms a sanitary type simple mount that engages the skin to hold the tube in place at the facial entrance. The cuff grasps the tube to secure it without lateral, rotational or axial movement. This retaining device serves as a comfortable flexible means that will conform to normal body movement and handling without irritation to skin or facial entrance. The staging member when contacting the lip area has at the center a protruding arm extending at an angle to retain at its center end the cuff that surrounds the tube in position for entry straight into the facial passage without bending or rubbing on the rim of the patients nostril or mouth as the case may be. The member is reversible to extend the tubing at a convenient angle into either the nostril or mouth.
