  • Patent number: 5306256
    Abstract: A tube restraint includes a low profile one piece tube mount such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,131,854 mounted on a base unit. The base unit includes medical adhesive on one side and has one or more wing straps flexibly attached to the side edges thereof. The wing straps are longer than the base unit is wide, and include adhesive on a top surface. The wing straps are spaced and offset from the tube mount, and are folded over the base unit once a tube is attached to the tube mount. The wing straps fix the tube to the base unit and also extend over the base unit to contact the patient adjacent to the base unit whereby the wing straps both anchor the tube to the base unit and further anchor the base unit in place. Once the tubing procedure is completed, the tube mount can be removed from the patient and discarded.
