Thomas Tube Holders

Our Thomas Tube Holders secure advanced airway devices, such as Endotracheal Tubes and Supraglottic Airway devices, after insertion into the trachea or oesophagus to reduce the risk of accidental extubation.

A proven and trusted range of tube holders

The original Thomas® Tube Holder is a tried and trusted tube holder, and an industry leader for the last two decades. Designed to secure a range of advanced airway devices, Thomas Tube Holders are easy to apply and provide a reliable hold over tape fastening methods.

Thomas® Select™ Tube Holder

As new methods of airway management and wider bore Supraglottic Airway Devices are introduced to the market, our Thomas Select Tube Holder is the preferred product in our range.

A larger opening allows the Thomas Select Tube Holder to accommodate a wider range of tubes than the original Thomas Tube Holder. The Select Tube Holder also allows for a fast and efficient manner with a push-screw mechanism. 

Suitable with Thomas Select Tube Holder:

  • Supraglottic Airway Devices (SGAs)
  • Laryngeal Masks (LMAs)
  • Endotracheal (ET) tubes.
