An apparatus for directing medical tubing away from mechanical portions of a hospital bed and off an underlying floor so as to facilitate identification and prevent entanglement, dislodgement, and contamination of the lines includes a tubular foam clasp for snug-fitting, horizontal attachment to a hospital bedrail having a barrel and on the underside of the body, a longitudinal slit. A series of slots in the body of the clasp extend toward the base flexible polyethylene foam material that can be repeatedly separated without fracturing to facilitating mounting on a hospital bedrail. The apparatus permits transverse insertion of medical tubing into a slot and positioning in a confining aperture, thereby allowing longitudinal and limited lateral movement of the tubing extending from a patient to medical devices involved in the care of patients while preventing entanglement with adjacent medical tubing and mechanical parts of a hospital bed.
