The surgical drain anchoring device includes a resilient, flexible pad having an upper surface, an opposing lower surface, a centrally positioned aperture, and a slit extending radially outward from the aperture to the perimeter of the device. A neck member positioned on the upper surface defines a central channel aligned with the aperture, and a tapered member aligned with the aperture extends from the lower surface so that a surgical drain can pass through the neck, the aperture, and the tapered member. An outer ridge member adapted for attachment of an external drainage bag thereto also extends from the upper surface. The external drainage bag includes a primary opening configured to attach onto the outer ridge member and a secondary opening configured to drain fluid from the drainage bag. The device can also include a strap, tie, or clip configured for securing the neck around the surgical drain.
