ABSTRACT:
An arm immobilizer comprises a closeable sleeve of a compressible material which can be placed around the patient's arm above and below the elbow joint with an opening on the inside of the arm positioned to give access to an intravenous site. One or more stays running the length of the immobilizer prevent excessive flexure movement at the elbow, while the compressible foam permits smaller movements that will not dislodge or impede the operation of the intravenous site and attached tube.
