发明名称 Medical tubing stabilizer
摘要 In various embodiments of the invention, a system and dynamic device are provided to create stability of tube placement in medical and other applications. The described systems and principles also apply in other environments outside of medicine and healthcare. The described medical tubing stabilizer adheres to the tubing itself providing handles or anchors to prevent stitch slippage and to prevent the tubing from falling out in any situation that requires a semi or permanent tubing placement. The device also aides in stabilizing the tubing in the wound site, and thus maximizes placement in its intended area of effect (e.g., in the body cavity, in a medical context). These stabilizing effects substantially minimize slippage of stitching holding the tubing in place to prevent the tubing from falling out or becoming dislodged or displace, thus preventing irritation and damage to the skin around the wound site, infection, seroma, edema and morbidity in a medical context.

主权项 1. A tube retention device comprising: a flexible rectangular body sized to wrap around a tube of interest; a plurality of slits transverse to a primary axis of the flexible rectangular body to isolate one or more loops of material, attached at each end thereof to the remainder of the flexible rectangular body; and adhesion means to adhere the flexible rectangular body but not the one or more loops to the tube of interest when wrapped, such that the loops pop outward or may be pulled away from the tube of interest and stitched to an external body; further comprising one or more security features to lock one end of the flexible rectangular body to an opposite end of the flexible rectangular body when the flexible rectangular body is wrapped around the tube of interest.
