A corporeal access tube assembly and a retention bolster for a corporeal access tube assembly. An elongated body formed of silicone rubber is split along a substantial portion of its length to form two legs joined together at corresponding one ends. The legs are separable from their other ends to receive the tube segment between them. When the legs are brought together and secured in that relationship they grip a tube segment and cause it to flex into a configuration where an outer portion lies flush against a patient's abdomen, for example.
