I love the thought of this type of ET storage - no falling off, no fiddling in drawers - brilliant!

However, I used to, always be a strong advocate of wall mounted, easy to grab ET tubes.....until I though about how susceptible they were to potential infection! Annoying as it is, perhaps a drawer is the best choice after all?

We want some sort of drawer unit to store us, so a few sizes in each drawer. Don't want them out in the open air getting dusty and contaminated prior to use. If anyone has any suggestions of where to get a smallish drawer unit that would be great

I've used a couple different ones, the one we use at the moment, the ET tubes sit in the holder by the blue end and stick out from the way (if that makes sense) but the one I found the easiest to use was a metal rack where the tubes are stored vertically and side by side, each slot has the tube size written on it aswell, I'm guessing you can get them from JAK etc.
