<p>A tube holding assembly particularly suitable for supporting a nasogastric feeding tube so that such a tube is not shifted accidentally out of position during use. The assembly includes a flexible nose pad (11) adapted to be adhesively secured to a wearer's nose, a mounting pin (14) projecting from a distal edge of the pad, and a pair of clamping jaws (12,13) pivotally carried by the projecting end portion of the pin. The jaws have interdigitating tube-clamping plates (27,28) disposed beneath the pin and a latching mechanism located in a readily viewable and accessible position above the pin.</p> |
