Abstract:
A tactile system for an oxygen tube attachable to a tracheostomy mask, the system comprising: an oxygen tube; an oxygen tube cover removeably attached to the oxygen tube, the oxygen tube cover comprising: a first end; a second end located on an end opposite the first end; a width defined generally by the distance along the oxygen tube cover from the first end to the second end; a length; an inner surface; an outer surface located on a surface opposite the inner surface; a plurality of elastic bands attached to the oxygen tube cover generally parallel to the width; a first connecting means located on the inner surface and generally at the first end; a second connecting means located on the outer surface and generally at the second end; and where the oxygen tube cover is generally made of a soft material.
