Description
The M.C. Johnson NG-Secure Nasogastric Tube Holder anchors a nasogastric tube at the nose without taping it to bare skin. A moisture-resistant foam cushion sits between tube and face, taking the pressure that causes nostril and lip sores during long feeds. The resealable tab readjusts in seconds when the tube needs repositioning.
- Foam cushion barrier keeps tube pressure off the nostrils and lips
- Moisture-resistant cushion holds up through feeds and oral care
- Resealable tab readjusts and repositions without a fresh holder
- Hypoallergenic, DEHP free and not made with natural rubber latex
- Box of 50 holders, 8 boxes per case for unit stocking
About This Nasogastric Tube Holder
The M.C. Johnson NG-Secure Nasogastric Tube Holder solves the two problems of NG securement, slippage and pressure injury. The adhesive base, 4.5 x 1.125 inches, anchors to the nose and cheek area while the small holder, 1.875 x 0.375 inches, grips the tube above a foam cushion. That cushion keeps the tube off the skin, so the pressure that breaks down nostrils and lips during continuous feeding is spread and softened. When the tube needs to move, the tab reseals after repositioning instead of forcing a full change. The manufacturer positions the device as a comfortable and affordable answer for nasogastric intubation on wards and in home care.

Why Choose This Nasogastric Holder
Tape on the nose fails in both directions, slipping off oily skin or tearing at it on removal. This holder replaces tape with a cushioned anchor built for the shape of the job. Patients feel the difference as less pressure at the nostril, and nurses feel it as a tube that stays where it was placed.
- Cushioned by design: the foam barrier is the differentiator against tape and rigid clips
- Fewer pressure sores: pressure spread off the nostril and lip protects skin during long feeds
- Resealable savings: reposition the tube without consuming a new holder
- Stays put through moisture: the cushion resists the damp that loosens facial tape
- Purpose sized: base and holder dimensions are made for the nose, not adapted from a leg device
