Claim:
1. A device for securing a tube in position, comprising: a strip defining an upper surface and a lower surface, the strip including a first end portion, a second end portion, and an intermediate portion, the intermediate portion of the strip on the lower surface thereof defining an attachment array; a first attachment member coupled to the strip adjacent the first end portion thereof and defining an attachment array on a surface thereof, the attachment array of the first attachment member facing in the same direction as the upper surface of the strip; a second attachment member coupled to the strip adjacent the second end portion thereof and defining an attachment array on a surface thereof, the attachment array of the second attachment member facing in the same direction as the upper surface of the strip; and a third attachment member defining a first surface and a second surface, the first and second surfaces defining respective first and second attachment arrays, the first attachment array releasably engaged with the attachment array of the strip thereby releasably engaging the third attachment member with the lower surface of the strip adjacent the intermediate portion thereof, wherein the strip is configured to wrap around a tube with the attachment arrays of the first and second attachment members and the second attachment array of the third attachment member releasably engaged with a strap member for securing the tube in position relative to the strap member, and wherein the first and second attachment arrays of the third attachment member are configured such that a holding force defined by the engagement of the first attachment array of the third attachment member with the attachment array of the strip is greater than a holding force defined by the engagement of the second attachment array of the third attachment member with the strap member.
