A tube anchoring device for anchoring gastrostomy and similar surgical tubing, for use in conjunction with a flanged pectin and polymethylcellulose wafer where, in one embodiment, the tube anchoring device comprises a tube, for receiving the surgical tubing, having at one end at least three radially projecting legs, designed to extend to and snap under the flange of the wafer, thereby releasably and painlessly securing the surgical tube in a manner that also facilitates easy inspection and cleaning of the incision and minor repair of the wafer without removal of the anchoring device.

An apparatus for stabilizing surgical tubing, comprising: a wafer, having a hole in its center, a first side of said wafer affixed to the patient and a second side of said wafer opposite the first side having a flanged ring concentric with the hole; and a support tube through which surgical tubing can be passed, provided at one end with at least three bent legs connected with and extending from said support tube, each leg having edges and a part contiguous to said support tube and an extended part, said contiguous parts extending substantially axially to the support tube, said extended part extending substantailly radially outward from the long axis of the support tube, said legs being shaped such that the edges of said legs at the bends of said legs are equally spaced apart around the perimeter of a circle concentric with said support tube, said legs being flexible and capable of releasably attaching said support tube under a flanged portion of the flanged ring of said wafer, such that when said legs are attached under the flanged ring of said wafer affixed to a patient, a surgical tube passed from an incision in the patient through the hole in said wafer, hole in the flanged ring, and said support tube is secured.
