Abstract
A medical use bandage is configured to immobilize, and to facilitate the use of, a tube implanted in a body. The implanted tube defines a body exit site, and a part of the tube projects from the body. The bandage includes a base support having a lower face for application to the skin and an upper face, a first bandage fixing portion for fixing the exit site, including on the lower face of the base support an adhesive fixing part to be adhered at least partly around the exit site to the skin and to a proximal portion of the projecting part of the tube, and a second bandage fixing portion for engaging the distal portion of the projecting part of the tube in a defined shape and in a sliding manner. The second bandage fixing portion is at least partly a part of the upper face of the support.
