In tracheostomy care, stability and skin protection are just as important as securing the airway. The right tracheostomy tube holder can reduce complications, prevent accidental decannulation, and make long-term wear more tolerable for patients in critical or extended care.
At B&B Medical Technologies, we design tracheostomy tube holders to do more than hold a tube in place. We engineer them to support healing, simplify care, and protect patient well-being at every stage.
Why Tracheostomy Tube Holders Are Critical in Patient Care
While traditional methods like twill ties or makeshift straps are still used, they often create pressure points, loosen over time, or harbor moisture. A secure, adjustable holder minimizes these risks and helps maintain tube position without compromising comfort.
Dislodged tracheostomy tubes can lead to serious complications, especially in high-dependency units, during transport, or among pediatric patients. Our holders are built to stay in place during patient movement, daily activities, and even sudden changes in condition.
Patient-First Features in Tracheostomy Securement
A well-designed tracheostomy tube holder reduces skin breakdown, lowers the risk of displacement, and helps the patient stay comfortable through daily care. When securement feels stable and gentle, patients move better, heal faster, and caregivers gain confidence in every adjustment.
Soft and Skin-Friendly Materials
We use breathable, non-irritating materials that reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, rashes, and skin breakdown.
Adjustable Sizing for Custom Fit
Patients have different needs, and your securement methods should accommodate those variations. Our holders come in adult and pediatric sizes and have flexible designs for proper tension and positioning.
Secure Hook-and-Loop Closures
Reliable fastening systems keep the holder tight without pinching or slipping. Clinicians can quickly adjust or release when needed.
Moisture-Wicking and Breathable Design
Our holders are built to manage skin moisture and airflow around the neck, a key factor in long-term tolerance.
Top Use Cases for Tracheostomy Tube Holders
Patients with tracheostomies face different risks, but securing the tracheostomy plays a crucial role in preventing complications and improving care.
ICU and Post-Op Recovery
Holders reduce the risk of accidental decannulation when patients are unconscious or agitated.
Long-Term Ventilation or Homecare
Comfort and hygiene are critical for compliance and skin integrity over time.
Pediatric Tracheostomy Support
Our child-specific models account for neck size, skin sensitivity, and active movement.
Patient Transport and Emergency Response
Securement systems that don’t loosen in motion improve outcomes during transfers or rapid intervention.
Why Clinicians Trust B&B Medical Technologies for Tracheostomy Care
At B&B Medical Technologies, we engineer every tracheostomy tube holder with insight from frontline care teams. That means:
● Engineered holders that stabilize without creating added neck pressure or skin indentation
● Designs that help reduce caregiver workload by minimizing the need for frequent skin checks
● Materials that actively support healing by allowing the skin to breathe, stay dry, and avoid friction
We assist clinicians in securing airways for NICU infants and long-term adult care, ensuring comfort is not compromised.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are tracheostomy tube holders reusable?
Most are single-use, but always refer to product-specific IFUs and facility protocols.
Can I use standard ties instead of a tube holder?
Yes, but they often increase the risk of skin damage and unintentional movement. Holders offer a safer, more comfortable solution.
How often should I replace a tracheostomy tube holder?
It depends on the patient’s needs and protocol. Daily checks and routine changes are typically recommended.
Do pediatric holders offer the same level of securement?
Yes. They are designed with softer materials and better contouring to support smaller, more sensitive necks.
