An apparatus for securing a nasal cannula comprising a first oxygen delivery tube and a second oxygen delivery tube across the face of a patient comprising:
- a first oxygen delivery tube holder comprising a relatively elastic material, the relatively elastic material being looped over itself to accommodate a first oxygen delivery tube and being securable to itself by a fastener;
- a second oxygen delivery tube holder comprising a relatively elastic material, the relatively elastic material being looped over itself to accommodate the second oxygen delivery tube and being securable to itself by a fastener;
- a strap attached to the first oxygen delivery tube holder;
- the strap being adjustable in length and attachable to the second oxygen delivery tube holder.
An apparatus for securing a nasal cannula across the face of a patient the nasal cannula comprising a nasal insert, a first oxygen delivery tube positionable on the first side of a patient's face and a second oxygen delivery tube positionable on the second side of a patient's face, the nasal cannula securing devices comprising:
- a first oxygen delivery tube holder comprising a relatively elastic material, the relatively elastic material being looped over itself to accommodate the first oxygen delivery tube and being securable to itself by a fastener;
- a second oxygen delivery tube holder comprising a relatively elastic material, the relatively elastic material being looped over itself to accommodate the second oxygen delivery tube and being securable to itself by a fastener;
- a strap attached to the first oxygen delivery tube holder;
- the strap being adjustable in length and attachable to the second oxygen delivery tube holder.
An apparatus for securing a nasal cannula across the face of a patient wherein the nasal cannula comprises a nasal insert, a first oxygen delivery tube positionable on the first side of a patient's face and a second oxygen delivery tube positionable on the second side of a patient's face, the nasal cannula securing device comprising:
- a first oxygen delivery tube holder comprising a first portion comprising relatively elastic material, the relatively elastic material being manipulable to be looped over the first delivery tube and being securable to itself via a snap fastener;
- a second oxygen delivery tube holder comprising a first portion comprising a relatively elastic material, the relatively elastic material being manipulable to be looped over the second delivery tube and being securable to itself via a snap fastener;
- the second oxygen delivery tube holder further comprising a second portion comprising an aperture;
- a strap attached to the first oxygen delivery tube holder;
- the strap comprising a first portion comprising loop material and a second portion comprising complimentary hook material, the second cannula retainer being securable to the first oxygen delivery tube holder by pulling the strap through the aperture in the second portion of the second oxygen delivery tube holder and attaching the second portion of the strap to the first portion of the strap using the complimentary hook and loop material.
