A device for maintaining a probe placing the inside of a patient's body in communication with the outside, characterized in that it comprises, arranged along a longitudinal axis of the device:
- at a distal end, a bearing means of the device configured to contact the patient's body that extend radially, including an axial opening for a passage of said probe and including a first radial opening communicating with said axial opening,
- at a proximal end, a guide means for said probe including a second radial opening,
- a longitudinal separating means for said bearing means and said guide means,
- wherein said separating means comprising a separating part assuming the form of an elongated plate that is longitudinally rectilinear and extends longitudinally from the bearing means to the guide means, said separating part having a curved cross-section, said curved cross-section extending partially around the longitudinal axis.
