ABSTRACT:
A clip device for holding flexible tubing in a coiled arrangement, where one end of the tubing is connected to an external device, such as an infusion pump. The clip has a bore formed through it at one end so that the clip may be slidably and permanently mounted on the flexible tubing. The clip also includes two C-shaped channels, one located at the bottom of the clip and the other along a side of the clip, that are sized to receive and frictionally engage the loops formed in the flexible tubing. The tubing is then coiled and firmly held in the coiled state by looping and engaging each loop in one of the C-shaped channels. The clip is capable of firmly holding the tubing in a coiled state, but the C-shaped channels are shaped and oriented on the clip such that when a user needs to use the flexible tubing, the user may pull on the free end of the flexible tubing whereby the loops are released from the C-shaped channels resulting in the uncoiling of the tubing. The tubing can also be quickly re-coiled and held by the clip in a coiled state again, ready for re-use.
