Medline Tracheostomy Tube Holder - Adult, Soft Foam-Laminate with Hook-and-Loop Closure (18"-20" Neck)

Secure, Comfortable Tracheostomy Tube Stabilization for Adult Patients

The Medline Tracheostomy Tube Holder delivers reliable, comfortable tracheostomy tube stabilization for adult patients with neck sizes ranging from 18 inches to 20 inches (46 cm to 51 cm). This one-piece neckband design combines soft foam-laminate construction, built-in elastic adjustment, and secure hook-and-loop closure to prevent tube slippage and accidental dislodgement while maximizing patient comfort during extended wear in hospital, long-term care, and home healthcare settings.

Advanced Comfort & Stability Features

• Soft Foam-Laminate Strap Construction: Premium foam-laminate material provides exceptional comfort against sensitive neck skin, significantly reducing irritation, pressure points, and skin breakdown during prolonged tracheostomy tube wear. The cushioned design distributes pressure evenly around the neck, making it ideal for patients requiring long-term tracheostomy management or those with fragile, sensitive skin conditions.
• Built-In Elastic Adjustment: Integrated elastic component within the strap automatically accommodates natural neck movement, coughing episodes, and fluctuating edema levels while maintaining consistent, secure tube positioning. The dynamic elastic design prevents the holder from becoming too tight during swelling or too loose during edema reduction, ensuring continuous airway security and patient safety.
• Adjustable Hook-and-Loop Closure: Durable Velcro-style fastening system enables quick, tool-free adjustment and secure retention of the tracheostomy tube. The reliable closure mechanism allows caregivers to achieve the perfect fit for each individual patient and make rapid adjustments during routine care, emergency situations, or when changing neck circumference requires modification.
• Twill Ribbon Anti-Slide Technology: Strategic twill ribbon positioned between the collar and tracheostomy tube prevents unwanted tube sliding and migration, maintaining optimal tube positioning for effective airway management. This innovative feature also helps keep the main neckband clean by creating a protective barrier against secretions and soiling, extending the usable life of the holder and simplifying hygiene maintenance.

Clinical Safety & Performance

• Superior Tube Stability: The one-piece adult design provides exceptional tube stabilization, helping prevent dangerous tube slippage and accidental dislodgement that could compromise airway patency and patient safety. The secure hold supports uninterrupted airway management and reduces the risk of emergency tube reinsertion procedures.
• Reduced Skin Irritation: Soft foam-laminate material and elastic adjustment work together to minimize pressure and friction at the neck, preventing skin irritation, redness, and breakdown that commonly occur with traditional cloth or rigid tube holders. The gentle design is especially beneficial for elderly patients, pediatric patients transitioning to adult sizes, and individuals with sensitive or compromised skin integrity.
• Enhanced Hygiene Protection: The twill ribbon barrier helps reduce soiling of the main neckband from tracheostomy secretions and drainage, simplifying cleaning procedures and extending the time between holder replacements. This hygiene-focused design reduces supply costs and minimizes the frequency of holder changes that can disturb the patient.
• Caregiver Efficiency: Hook-and-loop closure enables rapid, repeatable adjustment and re-application during routine tracheostomy care, dressing changes, and emergency situations. The user-friendly design reduces caregiver workload and allows for quick response during critical airway management scenarios.

One-Piece Adult Design

• Optimized for Adult Anatomy: Single-piece configuration is specifically engineered for adult neck dimensions, providing the ideal balance of security, comfort, and adjustability for patients with 18-20 inch neck circumferences. The adult-specific design ensures proper fit and function for the majority of adult tracheostomy patients.
• Simplified Application: One-piece construction eliminates the complexity of multi-component systems, making application faster and reducing the risk of assembly errors during urgent situations. The straightforward design is ideal for both experienced respiratory therapists and family caregivers in home healthcare settings.
• Durable Construction: High-quality materials and reinforced stitching ensure the holder maintains its structural integrity and performance characteristics throughout extended use, even with frequent adjustments and cleaning cycles.
