ABSTRACT:
An I. V. stabilizer has an elongated rectangular arm support pad onto which eight hook and loop fastener straps are secured. The straps are spaced along the length of the pad in four sets of two. Each set of the four straps and the arm support pad has an inner lining of padded foam material and a sterile cotton backing. The arm support pad as a central enclosed plastic stiffener which extends along the length of the pad. In use, a person's arm is placed on the support pad and the I. V. needle is then inserted. The four inner straps are wrapped around the person's arm and supported by cooperating hook and loop fasteners on the cotton backing of the support pad. The I. V. tube is then looped over the inner straps and the outer straps are then wrapped over the I. V. tube, and around the individual's arm and secured by hook and loop fasteners on the cotton backing of the support pad. In this manner, a secure support of an I. V. needle and tube is provided, preventing the I. V. from being dislodged from the individual's arm.
