A medical tube holding system for holding tubes extending from the mouth of a patient. Embodiments of the system comprise a rim or mask shaped and sized to be supported on the face of a patient, a lower support surface comprising various shapes and openings, and a tube holding device comprising at least one opening for receiving a medical tube and comprising a first adjusting component and a second adjusting component. Embodiments of the system include various features, including adjusting mechanisms in various dimensions, tube clamps, cushioning and straps.

The disclosed tube securement device (100) is adjustable in size to fit varying sizes and shapes of a part of the body. The tube securement device (100) comprises a backing (110) forming a first end section (120), a second end section (130), and a midsection (140). A first adhesive (122) is on at least a portion of the first major surface (112) of the first end section (120). A second adhesive (132) is on at least a portion the second end section (130). A first perforation line (123) is through the first end section (120) to form a first removable portion (124). In use, the first removable portion (124) can be separated from the first end section (120).

A transnasal transesophageal balloon catheter includes at least one compliant balloon attached to the external surface of the tubular body. An arrangement of structures extend away from the internal surface of the tubular body, and exposed probe guide surfaces on the structures form a lumen with a diameter of less than about 15 French (Fr) (5 mm) extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the tubular body and configured to slidably and rotatably receive the ultrasound probe. An arrangement of elongate fluid channels are interspersed with the structures. The fluid channels are in fluid communication with the lumen and transport a fluid between a fluid ingress port and a fluid egress port to at least partially inflate or deflate the balloon.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for securing a tube to a tube insertion site. An apparatus for a medical tube securement device includes a base member and a clamp member. The base member includes a first tab portion, a second tab portion, and an opening for receiving a tube. The opening is located substantially between the first tab portion and the second tab portion. A clamp member secures the tube within the opening to prevent the tube from moving while the base member is attached to a person and the tube is located at a tube insertion site on the person.

Provided herein are methods for providing a therapeutic benefit to a patient. A method of treating a patient with a metabolic disease and/or a pancreatic disease includes: selecting a patient with a metabolic disease and/or a pancreatic disease; selecting one or more pancreatic deposit sites; advancing a depositing device comprising a at least one depositing element to the selected one or more pancreatic deposit sites; and delivering a treatment agent through the at least one depositing element into the selected one or more pancreatic deposit sites. Systems and devices are also described.

An interactive restraint system for securing catheters in position following installation in a human or animal patient and preventing movement or unplanned removal thereof in response to the application of significant forces in any direction thereto, be they longitudinal, torsional/rotational or bending. The system includes a retention collar which can be secured to any catheter and releasably interacts with a securing device attached to a patient to ensure proper positioning of the catheter. The restraint system includes a unique universal, after-market applied retention collar readily adapted for use in hospital and field emergency situations to engage any catheter and facilitate ease of application and positioning under all conditions.

ET securement devices and methods are provided wherein the ET securement devices generally include two portions: a first portion for securing an ET tube and a second portion for attaching to the patient. The first portion is configured to releasably attach to the second portion to secure the ET tube relative to the patient.

A surgery apparatus includes a resilient foam pillow having an arrangement of labeled tabs for holding lines leading to/from a patient during and after surgery. A central cutout area in the pillow accommodates the patient's eyes, nose and mouth when in the prone position. Left and right channels in the foam pillow extend from a top edge of the pillow to the central cutout area for holding a breathing tube system. The foam pillow further includes a removably attachable chest support and opposite shoulder supports. A multipurpose holder device for placement on the patient's head has an arrangement of straps for securing an eye shield, a bite block and ventilator tube securing straps on the patient during surgery.

An ambulatory tube support and aligner for rapidly securing an endotracheal tube to an airway of a patient includes a support body, a fastener, and a compressible material. The support body has opposed inner and outer surfaces and includes a maxilla portion, a mandible portion, and two opposing end portions. The two opposing end portions individually connect the upper portion to the lower portion and define a perimeter of an opening. The opening is configured to overlay the mouth of the patient when the support body is secured to the patient. The fastener has a movable portion rotatively coupled to a fixed portion. A single rotation of the movable portion of the fastener causes the compressible material to secure the endotracheal tube at one end of the opening to provide an unobstructed view of the patient's mouth.
