ABSTRACT:
The I-V Caddy of the present invention is designed to provide a safe and convenient holder for needles, syringes, I-V tubing and its accompanying injection ports in the area adjacent where a health care provider is providing medical treatment to a patient. The I-V Caddy of the present invention helps to avoid potentially dangerous needle sticks by allowing health care providers to uncap, use and recap needles and syringes in a safe one-handed fashion. The I-V Caddy preferably includes a stainless steel platform body which includes a plurality of various size openings therethrough that are sized to receive a needle or syringe cap. The needle caps are held in place on the platform body utilizing either threaded openings or a spring loaded gripping device. Also attached to the platform body is at least one I-V port device holder that permits such a port device to be held firmly in place on the platform body so that the health care provider can inject fluids into the I-V tubing without having their free hand in a position where an accidental needle stick might occur.
