Nasal tube devices for securing a nasal tube and one or more other tubes to a nose of a patient

A nasal tube device for securing a nasal tube and one or more other tubes to a nose of a patient, the nasal tube device comprising:

• (a) a nasal tube comprising, sequentially, a proximal end, a proximal-clip portion, a distal portion, and a distal end, the proximal end of the nasal tube having a proximal opening, the distal end of the nasal tube having a distal opening, and the nasal tube having a nasal tube lumen extending from the proximal opening of the nasal tube to the distal opening of the nasal tube;
• (b) a bolster comprising a proximal end, a bolster body, and a distal end, the proximal end of the bolster having a proximal opening, the distal end of the bolster having a distal opening, the bolster having a bolster lumen extending from the proximal opening of the bolster to the distal opening of the bolster, the bolster being formed separately from the nasal tube, the nasal tube extending through the bolster lumen;
• (c) a flange having a proximal face and a distal face, the flange extending radially outwardly from the nasal tube, the flange having a hole between the proximal face of the flange and the distal face of the flange, the flange being formed separately from the nasal tube, the nasal tube extending through the hole of the flange, the flange being distal to the bolster on the nasal tube;
• (d) an adhesive tape comprising a base portion and one or more strip portions extending from the base portion, the base portion of the adhesive tape having a proximal side, a distal side, and a hole therethrough, each of the one or more strip portions having a proximal side and a distal side, the distal side of each of the one or more strip portions each having an adhesive surface, the nasal tube extending through the hole of the base portion of the adhesive tape, the adhesive tape being attached to the flange at the base portion of the adhesive tape;
• and
• (e) a clip for securing one or more other tubes to the nasal tube within the lumen of the nasal tube at the proximal-clip portion of the nasal tube, the clip being reversibly closeable about the bolster to reversibly compress the proximal-clip portion of the nasal tube about the one or more other tubes when closed, wherein:
• the flange is highly compliant based on being thin and flexible and provides a barrier to moisture and heat based on its composition;
• and
• the nasal tube has an elliptical tubular cross section that is noncircular.
