Abstract: The disclosed appliance enables the rapid insertion of a tube around the nasal septum of a patient to form a harness onto which to secure a medical tube entering through the nasal passage. The appliance has a feed through arm having a first end angled to form a first handle member. A receiving arm, having a first end angled to form a second handle member and is attached to the feed arm by a swivel juncture. A fulcrum housing at the proximal end of the upper clamping member forms a swivel juncture to enable a lower clamping member, extending from the fulcrum housing to the second end of the receiving arm second end, to be moveable. The feed arm and receiving arm move in a scissor like manner on a first plane while the upper and lower clamping members move on a second plane, angled to the first plane.
