Accessory item to use with LONG infusion tubing, for insulin pump

When I first began insulin pump therapy in 1985, there was an accessory item to use with LONG infusion tubing (43" or longer). The purpose of the accessory was to provide a “wrap around” device for the long tubing, which then prohibits the tubing from hanging out your pocket, bra, or slacks. At that time the clothes I wore and my infusion sites worked best with the 23" tubing.

Fast forward to 2017: Because of my current fashion choices and insurance coverage, I am limited to use 43" (or greater) tubings with my pump. But, I don’t remember the catalogs or websites where the old “long infusion” accessories were advertised and sold. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

I think you might be referring to a product called “tubeguard”. I do not believe it is manufactured anymore.

I think I remember using tubeguard long ago. Searched web, and agree, looks like they are not currently available.

You could just wrap it around your waist once. :wink:
