Apparatus and method for securement of a flexible conduit

A medical system comprising a flexible conduit secured to a securement device:

• wherein the securement device comprises:
• a support portion;
• and
• an elastically extendable first strap, an elastically extendable second strap and a tertiary attachment, coupled to the support portion;
• wherein a portion of the first strap is attached around a first region of the conduit;
• a portion of the second strap is attached around a second region of the conduit longitudinally adjacent to the first region;
• and the tertiary attachment is attached to a tertiary region of the conduit longitudinally adjacent to the second region;
• and the flexible conduit is urged into a curved or convoluted pathway;
• wherein, when a longitudinal force is applied to the conduit, the first strap and/or the second strap elastically extend or further extend and increase the static friction with the conduit.

A method of securing a flexible conduit comprising:

• attaching a first elastically extendable strap around a region of the flexible conduit;
• attaching a second elastically extendable strap around a longitudinally adjacent region of the flexible conduit;
• attaching a tertiary attachment to a tertiary region of the flexible conduit;
• and
• urging the flexible conduit into a curved or convoluted pathway defined by the attachments between the conduit and the first and second straps.
