Patent abstract
A tube holder assembly and method for securing an endotracheal tube to a biteline of a patient's mouth. The tube holder assembly features a tube body. A bite support assembly, coupled to the tube body, receives a tensile force and supplies a compressive force to the mouth of the patient. The bite support assembly includes a pair of substantially parallel bite walls extending outwardly from the exterior surface of the tube body. The bite walls define a bite rest therebetween for receiving a biteline of the patient's mouth and thus securing the biteline between a pair of bite walls as the bite rest applies a compressive force to the biteline.
