CLIP-FAB device is an easy-to-use disposable device, which adapts to the endotracheal tube (ET) using a clip and an intraoral balloon, fixing it and preventing it from moving or displace accidentally for as long as the patient remains tubed. CLIP-FAB device is the only patented ET fixation system, which has the innovative combination of globe and clamp, both integrated in a single device, which allows a secure fixation and convenient handling of the ET, avoiding the use of any type of bandage, dressing or adhesive tape on the head or face of the intubated patient. The CLIP-FAB device consists of 4 assembled pieces.
