Abstract
A strap assembly for cable and cord management in sterile environments is provided. The assembly includes a strap and a fastener. The fastener and relatively flat strap are characterized by a minimum of bacteria harboring surface features, and are made from easily sanitizable materials. The strap is discretely adjustable lengthwise via a plurality of apertures formed therein. A first group of apertures are used to attach to the cord and a second group of apertures allows for positioning the strap about a cord bundle, the fastener interacting with said apertures to secure the strap to the bundle. Necessary surface features on the strap such as indicia are limited to a predetermined height to ensure that a single pass with a sanitizing wipe can effect bacterial and viral decontamination.
