A device (1) for securing an oral tube, such as an endotracheal tube (T), positioned in a patient's trachea includes a support surface, such as an open channel (2), for supporting the tube. First and second arms (3, 4) extend outwardly from the open channel. The first and second arms form an arch (5) having first and second ends (6, 7). Bite blocks (8, 9) are provided adjacent the first and second arch ends for contacting the patient's teeth or gums, and a receiver (24) for securing the tube against the support surface is likewise provided. A flexible member (16) having first and second ends for looping around the patient's nasal septum (S) is likewise provided. At least one of the ends of the flexible member is received in a retainer (12) and assists in securing the device in position. |
