Disclosed are mounting devices that allow consumers to quickly and easily determine whether a given mounting device can be used to hang or otherwise support a desired object. The mounting device includes an indicator that is exposed to alert the consumer if the weight of the object exceeds the maximum weight recommendation of the mounting device. If the indicator remains hidden, the mounting device is considered appropriate for the given object.

Mounting device and method of supporting an object

Disclosed are display packages allowing consumers to quickly and easily determine whether a given mounting article should be used to hang or otherwise retain a desired object. The display packages include a projection designed to tear or otherwise separate from a backing once an object exceeding a recommended weight is mounted on the projection. If the projection remains attached to the backing, the mounting article is appropriate for the object. If the projection separates, another mounting article should be used.

Display packaging for mounting articles

A nasogastric tube securement system. The system can include a base layer and a coupling layer. The base layer can be configured to be adhered to a nose, the base layer having a first major surface comprising a skin-contact adhesive and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The coupling layer can include a first end comprising coupling means configured to be repositionably coupled to the second major surface of the base layer, and a leg. The leg can be connected to and extending from the first end, can be elongated along a longitudinal direction, and can be configured to secure a nasogastric tube.

A nasogastric tube securement system. The system can include a base layer and a coupling layer. The base layer can be configured to be adhered to a nose, having a first major surface comprisng a skin-contact adhesive and a second major surface opposite the first major surface. The coupling layer can include a first end comprising coupling means configured to be repositionably coupled to the second major surface of the base layer, a second end configured to secure a nasogastric tube, and a middle section connecting the first end and the second end. The middle section can be elongated along a longitudinal direction, and the second end can include at least two legs extending downwardly from the first end, each leg separated from an adjacent leg by an acute angle.

The coupling layer can include a first end comprising coupling means configured to be repositionably coupled to the second major surface of the base layer, and a second end configured to secure a nasogastric tube. The coupling layer can further include a cutaway region extending from a periphery of the coupling layer adjacent the second end into a central portion of the coupling layer, such that the second end comprises legs that are separated by the cutaway region, and such that the first end is free of the cutaway region.
