The sheath is elongated and has an opening at a selected end thereof for insertion therethrough of a surgical arm support commonly used to support and secure a patient's arm during surgery so that intravascular and intramuscular hypodermics inserted within the patient's arm will not be inadvertently disturbed during the operation. Two pair of straps each including a first strap having a hooked portion and a second strap having a looped portion, are connected to the underside of the sheath. In operation, the first and second straps are wrapped in opposite direction around the sheath, support arm and patient's arm with the hook and loop portions being engaged to connect the strap and secure the patient's arm. An alternate embodiment includes a pair of straps each having a hooked portion and looped portion of hook-and-loop connector on opposite sides thereof. The straps are connected to the underside of the sheath in longitudinally spaced relation thereon. The straps are wrapped around the sheath, the arm support received therein and over the patient's arm. The hooked portion is pressed against and engages the looped portion to secure the patient's arm to the arm support with the sheath therebetween.
