Abstract: The present invention is a convenient and inexpensive strap for securely and comfortably holding a nasal cannula to the head of a wearer. Typically the strap is made of a soft cloth or foam fabric, about ⅛-¾ inch wide and 6-16 inches long. Preferably the strap has strips of both hook and loop fasteners about ½-3 inches long at each end on one same side of the cloth. To use the strap, one end of it is looped around one of the oxygen tubes and secured to itself. The strap extends behind the ears of the wearer, and rests on the back of the head or the nape of the neck of the wearer. Then, the other end of the strap is looped around the other oxygen tube and secured to itself. The tension in the strap may be adjusted to pull the tubes in slightly towards the middle of the back of the head or neck, which may also pull the tubes off of the back of the ears. This way, the cannula may be conveniently, securely, and comfortably attached to the head of the wearer.
