Tubing holder and stabilizer
First Claim
1. A disposable medical tubing holder and stabilizer comprising:
- a base layer having a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface;
a pair of opposing hook and loop regions located on the top planar surface of the base layer, the opposing hook and loop regions each having a length and a width;
a primary adhesive region located between the opposing hook and loop regions on the top planar surface and running substantially the entire length thereof so as to separate the opposing hook and loop regions, the primary adhesive region being selectively sized to receive a length of tubing to be stabilized;
a secondary adhesive region located on the bottom planar surface of the base layer directly below one of the opposing hook and loop regions; and
wherein the secondary adhesive region is engageable on a target surface for stabilizing a medical tubing on the target surface, and wherein the opposing hook and loop regions are foldable about the primary adhesive region when a medical tubing is located on the primary adhesive region to thereby form an engaged sheath about the medical tubing to stabilize the medical tubing on the target surface.

Abstract
A disposable medical tubing holder and stabilizer comprising a base layer and a pair of opposing hook and loop regions located on a top planar surface of a base layer. A primary adhesive region selectively sized to receive a length of medical tubing is located between the opposing hook and loop regions on the top planar surface so as to separate the opposing hook and loop regions. The opposing hook and loop regions are foldable about the primary adhesive region to thereby form an engaged sheath about the medical tubing to secure the medical tubing to the tubing holder. A secondary adhesive region is located on the bottom planar surface of the base layer and is engageable on a target surface for stabilizing a medical tubing on the target surface.

9. A method for holding and stabilizing medical tubing comprising the steps of:
-
providing a tubing holder comprising;
a base layer having a top planar surface and a bottom planar surface, the top planar surface having opposing hook and loop regions separated by a primary adhesive region; and
a secondary adhesive region located on the bottom planar surface of the base layer;
placing a portion of a medical tubing to be stabilized on the primary adhesive region;
folding the base layer so that the hook and loop regions mate and form an engaged sheath about the medical tubing with the medical tubing contacting the primary adhesive region;
securing the second adhesive region to a strain relief surface, thereby holding and stabilizing the medical tubing. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
