Zusammenfassung:	An external catheter stabilizer device for stabilizing and retaining a catheter tube at a stoma includes a base portion that is attached at a central portion via at least two legs. The base portion is configured to be affixed at a patient so as to generally surround a stoma. The central portion has a passageway therethrough that is configured to receive a tube that passes through the stoma. The central portion may include a disinfecting wiping element for receiving and wiping the tube as it is inserted through the passageway and into the stoma. The central portion may include flexible tabs that deflect to enlarge an effective diameter of the passageway and that are biased radially inward to retain the tube thereat. The device may have pads coupled to the respective legs via an elastomeric connecting element to allow for adjustment of the pads relative to the legs.
