This listing is for a set consisting of a 23" long cord keeper, 2 connector covers, 2 clips, and 2 button cushions.
Button Cushion:
Feeding Tubie Button Cushions stabilize your feeding tube, absorb leaks, and help keep the stoma dry. Many users report (and our personal experience has been) that using a button cushion can also help reduce or prevent granulation tissue.
Our Octagonal Tubie Button Cushions are about 3.5 inches across - sized just right to provide maximum protection for the feeding tube while keeping a low profile under clothing. All Edges are soft, turned fabric, while the snap closure ensures a long life and won't snag clothing.
This cushion has a top layer of decorative cotton, two inner layers of absorbent cotton flannel, and a next-to-the-skin layer of bamboo (legally, rayon from bamboo, like ALL bamboo fabric).
Cord Clip:
Cord Clips help manage medical tubing to make your life easier! These flexible, versatile clips hold feeding tubes, IV tubes, dialysis tubing, ventilator tubing, and really any other type of medical tubing.
Simply snap the Cord Clip's fabric length around whatever tubing you want to wrangle, and then clip the easy-open/secure-close clip to clothing, backpack, wheelchair, or any handy surface.
Use them to corral the extra length of the tubing between your feeding pump and your g-tube. Use them to keep tubes separated from each other. Use them to relieve pulling at the stoma by supporting the weight of the tubing.
We Put two sets of snaps on our Cord Clips to increase the Clip's versatility. You may use both sets of snaps, or just one set, whichever makes the most sense in your situation.
And we use four layers of fabric in our clips for a sturdier, longer-lasting, easier to handle clip.
- Easy to Use
- Washable
- Easy-open/Secure-close clip
- Versatile
- Cotton fabric strip, poly snaps and clip
Machine washable (make sure the clip and snaps are closed). Air dry.

Connector Cover:
Our Connector Covers snap securely and firmly around your feeding tube connection - blocking little fingers, stopping accidental openings and disconnections, and preventing the mess that results. Each Connector Cover has 7 closely-spaced snaps to completely enclose your feeding tube connection, and to keep the cover in its proper place. It won't slide down and expose the connection.
Our Connector Cover features two prints and a layer of padding. The padding further protects the connection, avoiding the risk you face with fabric-only covers that the med port could be bumped or pried open trough the fabric. These work equally well with legacy connectors as well as the purple EnFit connectors.
The Connector Cover will fit connections with one or two ports. These are typical of feeding tubes with buttons (Mic-key, Mini, Bard, AMT's GJ tubes) Some styles of non-button GJ tubes have three ports. If this is what your tube looks like (GJ, 3 ports) please contact us about a custom Connector Cover. We do make them, we just don't get enough demand to keep them in stock.

Cord Keeper:
Cord Keepers - Funner to look at than plain tubes, and safer, too! Do you worry about your cords and tubes at night? Does your loved one have multiple tubes that somehow seem to always get twisted and knotted up? (Like the temperature probe and the ventilator tubing?) Does your child wake up in the morning hopelessly tangled in his or her tubes? Are you just plain tired of looking at boring tubes all day?
Our Cord Keepers help keep lines away from curious fingers, help reduce occlusion and condensation, reduce the risk of entanglement at night, and are just plain fun. They may be pinned to clothing near stomas or entry sites or to legs or feet of pajamas, but should not be pinned to collars. Many caregivers use these at night to tuck cords along the side of the crib or bed. They've even been known to make grumpy children more accepting of their various tubes.
Cord Keepers will hold 1-3 IV or feeding tube-size tubes. If you prefer it NARROWER, to hold JUST one tube, please make a note when you check out. SINGLE tube Cord Keepers can be hard to snap and unsnap, but will lay more snugly against the tubing.
