A disposable noninvasive tubing cuff for use in securing an I.V. tube, or the like, to a patient. The disposable I.V. tubing cuff is removably secured to a patient's limb, such as a wrist arm or leg, and holds the I.V. tube without sliding on the patient's limb. An exemplary cuff comprises a layer of soft, porous, cloth-like material with a thin layer of soft non-skid porous foam rubber secured to one side thereof that touches the patient's skin. Opposite ends of the cuff are secured together using hook and loop materials, wherein hooks contact and engage loops to hold opposite ends of the cuff together. A bendable or foldable adhesive layer is attached to the porous, cloth-like material on the same side as the layer of loop material, and which has a protective layer that covers adhesive which is removed to expose the adhesive. A tube is laid on the exposed adhesive and the adhesive layer is wrapped around the tube to secure it to the cuff.
