Abstract
A system comprises a substrate having a plurality of apertures, and a clip. The clip is removably coupled to one of the plurality of apertures. The clip has a body, a plurality of fingers, a first leg, a second leg, a first notch, and a second notch. The fingers extend from the body to collectively form at least two tube-engaging regions. The first leg is adjacent to a first end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The second leg is adjacent to a second end of the body and extends from the body opposite the fingers. The first notch is adjacent to the first end of the body and is configured to receive a first portion of the substrate. The second notch is adjacent to the second end of the body and is configured to receive a second portion of the substrate.
Claims19
A system comprising:
- a substrate having a first plurality of apertures and a second plurality of apertures defined therein, the first plurality of apertures arranged to form a circular shape on a surface of the substrate, each one of the first plurality of apertures spaced apart about the circular shape and angled relative to one another such that each one of the plurality of apertures is tangent to the circular shape, the second plurality of apertures positioned inside the circular shape, a third plurality of apertures positioned within the circular shape formed by the first plurality of apertures, and an additional aperture positioned outside of the circular shape formed by the first plurality of apertures;
- a first plurality of clips, wherein each clip in the first plurality of clips is coupled to an aperture of the first plurality of apertures, wherein the first plurality of clips is configured to secure a tube to the substrate;
- a second clip coupled to apertures of the second plurality of apertures, wherein the second clip is configured to secure a syringe to the substrate;
- a third clip coupled to apertures of the third plurality of apertures, wherein the third clip is configured to secure an electrical cable to the substrate;
- and
- a fourth clip coupled to the additional aperture, wherein the fourth clip is configured to secure a needle to the substrate.
