Wrap the short tab of the horizontal tail

After removing the bottom liner to expose the adhesive, place the tube in alignment with the vertical tail of the securement device and apply firm pressure to adhere it to the tube. Wrap the short tab (on the right) of the horizontal part of the device around the tube. Wrap the long horizontal part of the device in a spiral fashion around the tube and apply firm pressure to enhance adhesion.

Do not attempt to tape over the non-adhesive section of the device

This design feature allows the tube to hang freely,* helping to reduce the risk of pressure injury. *Data collected during a US customer preference evaluation Feb - Apr 2022. Current devices noted by participants were Dale® brand and Derma Sciences brand.
