A device for fixing a tube member in a cavity of a patient. The device includes a body that surrounds the tube member and has a casing that at least partly forms an inner space. The body is expandable by supplying a fluid to the inner space in such a way that the fluid in the inner space has a working pressure. Furthermore, the body has, in a non-expanded state, a relatively small outer extent, which permits the introduction into said cavity, and in an expanded state, a relatively large outer extend, which permits fixing in said cavity by abutment with a contact pressure against a tubular wall of the cavity. In order to ensure a tight abutment against the wall of the cavity, the body has such a geometrical shape that the contact pressure is substantially constant independent of variations of the working pressure within a normal working range. |
