Abstract: A medical tube holder and its method of use are disclosed. The holder has a backing strip having front and back faces, a portion of the back face being adapted to adhere to a substrate, such as a surgical drape. The backing strip has preferential tube receiving locations and is movable between a folded and unfolded position. Members possessing a mutual magnetic attraction are mounted on the front surface of the strip for mutual engagement when the strip is folded. The tubing is secured within the preferential receiving locations between folded sections of the strip when the strip is in its folded position.
