Abstract Objective: Drainage tubes (e.g., intracranial, abdominal cavity and thoracic) are commonly used to drain blood and fluid collections after surgery. It usually fails due to the lack of fixation perpendicular to the skin and the variety of tube materials. The objective of the article is to describe a new drainage tube device. Methods: This new device consists of a drainage tube fixator and diverter with a rotating handle. The fixator and diverter are fixed to the skin with a pair of wings, and the base comprises acircular arc with chamfering of the edge. The removable stopper and plastic diverter have a memory function. There are 2 holes on either side of the wings, by which they can be sewn to the skin or stapled for strength and stability. Results: The removable limiting stopper and plastic diverter with memory function work together to ensure that the drainage tube is firmly fixed. Therefore, the tube will not move either vertically or horizontally on the skin. Moreover, the device is fit for drainage tubes with different specifications and materials. Conclusions: The limiting stopper can be moved easily, which is conducive to local skin disinfection around the drainage tube. The device deserves clinical promotion.

Key words： drainage tube device a pair of fixed wings the removable stopper the plastic diverter with memory function rotating handle
