WEARABLE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SECURING TUBING

摘要

The present invention relates to a wearable device particularly adapted for use with an individual connected to a medical device by tubing or a cord, which allows the wearer to move freely, but prevents the tubing from disconnecting from the person or the medical device via a securing attachment that restricts the movement of the wearable device's wearer to a distance shorter than the length of the tubing connecting the wearer to the medical device. The wearable device may also contain containment members to secure excess lengths of tubing. The wearable device can allow access to the wearer's body without removing the wearable device from the wearer.
