A securement device for holding medical tubing e.g. near the site of an intravenous cannula in a TIVA apparatus comprises a tube holder 1 and an adhesive patch (7, fig 6), the patch being adherable to the body of a patient. The tube holder has a flat base 2 which in use is adhered to a surface of the adhesive patch and lies flat against the skin of the patient. The tube holder 1 is in the form of a moulding which includes an integral tube-receiving portion 3 for the tubing which in use is held above the adhesive patch. A connecting portion 5 which joins the base and tube-receiving portion extends through a central rectangular opening in the patch. The tube receiving portion may be configured to receive multiple tubes (fig 7) and may be tapered to securely hold the tubes. |
