ABSTRACT:
An improved pediatric device for administering intravenous medications and fluids is provided which maintains an infant or toddler's hand, arm, leg or foot in a stationary position to prevent the child from inadvertently dislodging the needle from the vein during sudden movement. The device comprises an anatomically correct age and weight appropriate visco-elastic support molded to conform to the natural contours of the child, said support providing sufficient weight to keep the extremity immobile. The mold is covered with a disposable sleeve-like covering which provides a soft, clean, non-allergenic surface to protect the sensitive skin of an infant or child. The device is affixed to the child with a continuous sleeve of flexible material providing an elongated tubular form for completely securing the limb. The rectangular fabric sleeve has a smooth, moisture absorbing inner surface and is secured by fabric contact engaging means, e.g. Velcro.RTM. fasteners along each edge of the sleeve.
