A tube stabilising device

A tube stabilising assembly for a tube inserted into a patient, comprising:

• a first tube stabilising device;
• compromising:
• a base member fixable to a surface, the base member having a support surface for supporting the base member on a surface of the patient;
• and
• a tube retaining member;
• wherein the base member includes a cavity configured to receive a flange of the tube retaining member such that, when received, the cavity at least partially overlaps the flange so that the flange is retained by the base member, the tube retaining member is moveably attached to the base member and the flange is moveable within the cavity in any direction parallel to the support surface;
• the tube retaining member being configured to retain a tube extending from the patient such that, when retained, the tube is moveable relative to the base member;
• and
• one or more further tube stabilising device;
• wherein the tube stabilising assembly is configured such that a tube exiting a patient's body is retainable by the first tube stabilising device and the one or more further tube stabilising device.

A tube stabilising assembly for a tube inserted into a patient, comprising:

• (i) a first tube stabilising device comprising:
• a base member fixable to a surface, the base member having a support surface for supporting the base member on a surface of the patient;
• and
• a tube retaining member;
• wherein the base member includes a cavity configured to receive a flange of the tube retaining member such that, when received, the cavity at least partially overlaps the flange so that the flange is retained by the base member, the tube retaining member is moveably atthached to the base member and the flange is moveable within the cavity in any direction parallel to the support surface;
• the tube retaining member being configured to retain a tube extending from the patient such that, when retained, the tube is moveable relative to the base member;
• wherein the tube retaining member includes receiving means configured to receive a portion of the tube;
• wherein the receiving means includes a curved guide configured such that, when the tube is received by the receiving means, the tube is curved around the curved guide;
• and
• (ii) a second tube stabilising device comprising:
• a base member fixable to a surface, the base member having a support surface for supporting the base member on a surface of the patient;
• and
• a tube retaining member;
• wherein the base member includes a cavity configured to receive a flange of the tube retaining member such that, when received, the cavity at least partially overlaps the flange so that the flange is retained by the base member, the tube retaining member is moveably attached to the base member and the flange is moveable within the cavity in any direction parallel to the support surface;
• the tube retaining member being configured to retain a tube extending from the patient such that, when retained, the tube is moveable relative to the base member;
• wherein the tube retaining member includes receiving means configured to receive a portion of the tube;
• wherein the receiving means of the tube retaining member includes a substantially straight portion such that, when the tube is received by the tube retaining member, the tube is substantially straight throughout the straight portion of the receiving means;
• wherein the tube stabilising assembly is configured such that a tube exiting a patient's body is retainable by the first tube stabilising device and the second tube stabilising device.
