Abstract
A medical line stabilizer is provided and includes an elongate rigidifying body having an axis, and multiple open channels that extend parallel to the axis and are adapted to receive a medical line, such as intravenous tubing. The open channels have notches configured to allow controlled bending of the body, which helps to prevent medical lines from becoming entangled or bent.
Claims18
A medical line stabilizer comprising:
- a rigidifying elongate body having a body axis;
- multiple open channels extending parallel to the body axis, each channel having a base, opposing walls and an elongate opening extending along the body axis and being adapted to receive a medical line extending along the body axis, wherein the walls comprise notches configured to allow controlled bending of the body about a bending axis which is transverse to the body axis and to the notches, and wherein each of said channels is configured to allow each received medical line to be independently removed through the respective elongate opening.
A medical line stabilizer for stabilizing medical tubes comprising:
- a rigidifying elongate body with a longitudinal body axis along said elongate body, said elongate body configured to receive at least one medical line;
- and
- two or more clips attached to the elongate body, the two or more clips being spaced apart along the longitudinal body axis of the elongate body,
- wherein the clips form multiple medical line channels configured such that multiple medical lines can be anchored along their length along axes parallel to, and outside of, the elongate body by each medical line being received by a respective one of said medical line channels associated with at least two of the clips.
