More Stable Endotracheal Tube

A new holder for an endotracheal tube provides a more secure method of stabilization, giving doctors a better way to prevent accidental extubation.

The holder is flexible, cushioned, and free of latex. It is easier to apply and secures most endotracheal tubes. An adhesive base, which serves as the underpinning of the system, attaches to the neckband with a Velcro strip to prevent slippage. The lightweight, flexible tubing channel prevents kinking and allows easy access for oral care. Patient comfort and a secure fit are ensured by a soft, easily adjustable, cushioned neckband. The holder complies with guidelines for advanced cardiac support.

"From our ongoing dialog with clinicians, we know that accidental extubation is always a serious concern,” said John Brezack, president of Dale Medical Products, Inc. (Plainville, MA, USA), which developed the new holder. "We created the Dale Stabilock endotracheal tube holder to respond to the need for a more secure method of stabilization. We've also built in the kind of comfort and ease-of-use features clinicians expect from Dale products.”
