TUBE SECUREMENT DEVICE WITH ADJUSTABLE SIZE
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 ).
