Abstract
A medical tubing organizer that includes a tube holding portion configured to hold a plurality of medical tubes, and a mounting portion that is configured to mount to a support structure. The tube holding portion and the mounting portion are connected to one another by a connection mechanism, for example a ball and socket, that permits pivoting of the tube holding portion and the mounting portion relative to one another. The tube holding portion can include a plurality of tines, and a gap between adjacent pairs of the tines with each adjacent pair of tines having facing surfaces that are scalloped and defining tube holders having different sizes.

A medical tubing organizer, comprising:
- a tube holding portion that is configured to hold a plurality of medical tubes, the tube holding portion comprises a plurality of tines that extend in a first direction parallel to one another from a first, fixed end to a second, distal end;
- a gap between adjacent pairs of the tines with each said adjacent pair of tines having facing surfaces that are scalloped to include a plurality of concave portions and peaks;
- and the facing surfaces of each adjacent pair of tines define a plurality of tube holders having different sizes;
- a mounting portion that is configured to mount to a structure, the mounting portion comprises a clamp that includes a top plate with opposite sides and opposing arms that extend downwardly from the opposite sides of the top plate in a direction opposite the first direction;
- wherein the tube holding portion and the mounting portion are connected to one another by a ball and socket joint so that the tube holding portion and the mounting portion can move relative to one another, the ball and socket joint includes a ball and a socket, and the ball or the socket are attached directly to the top plate.
