摘要:
A method of stabilizing a tube at a stoma of a patient includes providing a stabilizing device having a base portion and a tube holding portion that is attached at the base portion via at least two legs and that, with the base portion affixed to the patient, is spaced from the stoma of the patient. The tube holding portion has a passageway therethrough that is configured to receive the tube that passes through the stoma. The tube holding portion may be adjusted to position the tube in a free-flow orientation or a restricted-flow orientation. The tube holding portion may include a disinfecting wiping element. The stabilizing device may have pads coupled to respective legs via an elastomeric connecting element to allow for adjustment of the pads relative to the legs. The tube holding portion may include flexible tabs that deflect to enlarge an effective diameter of the passageway.
