Hollister AnchorFast Endotracheal Tube Holders

For intubated patients, how the endotracheal tube is secured has real consequences: tube movement, unplanned extubation, and pressure injuries to the lips and oral mucosa are all tied to the fastening method. The Hollister AnchorFast system replaces adhesive tape with a secure, repositionable oral tube holder designed to protect skin integrity while maintaining airway stability in the ICU and other critical care settings.

The AnchorFast Endotracheal Tube Anchor Fastener (9799) holds the ET tube firmly while allowing clinicians to reposition it from side to side of the mouth—a simple maneuver that redistributes pressure and helps prevent lip breakdown during prolonged intubation. A non-absorbent upper lip stabilizer keeps the device off vulnerable tissue, and the tube can be loosened for oral care and suctioning without removing the holder or losing the tube's position. Because it uses no adhesive, there's no residue to scrub off delicate perioral skin and no re-taping cycle for staff.

Secure fit starts with the neckband. The AnchorFast Replacement Neckband Strap (9788) fits both the AnchorFast and AnchorFast Guard oral fasteners, using hook-and-loop closures for quick, adjustable application around the neck. It is not made with natural rubber latex, an important consideration for patients and clinicians with latex sensitivities. Keeping replacement neckbands on hand means the holder stays functional through routine cleaning and strap changes without pulling the entire unit from inventory.

Together these products support a consistent oral care and repositioning protocol—repositioning is typically recommended at set intervals per your facility's guidelines—while reducing the skin risks and labor associated with traditional taping. Whether you're stocking a single unit or ordering AnchorFast fasteners and neckbands for a full critical care unit, this collection covers the components needed to secure endotracheal tubes reliably and protect the patients wearing them.
