    Abstract: The medical tube support disclosed herein acts as a stabilizer for various types of medical tubing. The invention is designed to attach the tubing to the patient's clothing or bedding to help maintain the integrity of medical access lines and to help alleviate patient discomfort. The invention is also useful for preventing inadvertent pulling of lines at entrance sites, site irritation from gravitational pull and the unintentional entanglement of the tubing. The innovative clip disclosed herein can be used in conjunction with any medical tubing such as gastronomy lines, nasogastric tubing, oxygen lines, various intravenous lines and even suprapublic lines. Patients find the device eases irritation by stabilizing the tubing and eliminates pulling. Medical staff will employ this product to decrease the instances of tangled lines and to reduce the occurrences of misplacement or dislodgment.
