The present invention provides a means to secure an endotracheal tube within the patient’s mouth without the need for adhesive tape or other intrusive and cumbersome devices.

About

Summary   The current design of endotracheal tubes require multiple layers of tape around the patient’s neck to secure the tube in position. The tape is uncomfortable, and secretions from the patient’s mouth make the tape ineffective, resulting in the tube coming loose. A loose tube is inefficient and possibly dangerous.
