Medical tubing support

Abstract

A medical tubing support which includes a harness strap, capable of being attached around the body of the patient, a detachable pad capable of being selectively attached to the harness strap, and at least one adjustable strap pivotally attached to the detachable pad which secures ventilation circuit tubing on the detachable pad. The first end of the adjustable strap is attached to a rivet located in the center of the detachable pad. The rivet enables the adjustable strap to pivot anywhere in 360 degrees. During use, the second end of the adjustable strap is wrapped over an object to hold the object on the detachable pad. Velcro (TM) hook and loop surfaces disposed between the detachable pad and the adjustable strap enables the adjustable strap to be selectively fixed in position on the detachable pad. Velcro (TM) hook and loop surfaces provided between the detachable pad and the topside of the harness allows the detachable pad to be selectively placed on the topside of the harness. This is designed to restrict movement and allow for proper alignment of the ventilator circuit tubing if the patient is moved.
