    Abstract: An adjustable airway securement device that protects and enables placement, and positional stability of airway devices or endotracheal tube apparatus (ETT) of different lengths and diameters adapted to fit the airways of patients having oral and tracheal anatomical structures and facial geometries of various sizes. An internal force-exerting member, such as a flexible beam member operatively connected to an Interlock, collar, or a bonding material, or a surface texturing structure is urged into securing engagement with a sidewall of an airway device in response to rotational closure of a securing apparatus or a clamshell-type clamping member. The clamping member is configured to interact in clamping engagement with the continuous sidewall of the airway device via the Interlock device adjustably positioned in the stabilization system to prevent clinically significant movement of the distal end of the airway device with respect to the vocal cords of the patient.

    Abstract: An adjustable airway securement apparatus and method that enables precise, safe and effective positioning and maintenance of an airway device or endotracheal tube apparatus (ETT) in airways of patients in low-risk stable environments. The system is easy to install on and remove from a patient, while at the same time being sufficiently robust to maintain the airway device in its preferred position in a patient's trachea and to prevent clinically significant movement thereof. If a patient must be moved and a more robust airway securement and stabilization system is needed, the more robust system is sequentially installed on the patient in conjunction with corresponding sequential removal of the less robust apparatus while maintaining a continuous and secure airway and ventilation of the patient.
