ABSTRACT:
An intravenous connection clip for preventing separation of two tubular fluid flow connectors of respective intravenous (IV) tubing sets. The intravenous connection clip includes a generally tubular bracket for surrounding the fluid flow connectors and having large portions of the tube cut away to allow for easy visualization of the fluid flow connectors and the fluid path therethrough. The bracket of the IV connection clip having a generally "C" shaped port lock on a first end of the bracket having a pair of first arms for releasably gripping a conventional port of a first IV tubing set, a generally "U" shaped cannula and luer connector lock on an intermediate portion of the bracket for releasably contacting a conventional luer connector of a second IV tubing set fluidly coupled to the port of the first IV tubing set. The bracket further has a retaining clip on a second, or opposite, end of the bracket from the port lock having a pair of second arms for releasably gripping the tubing immediately adjacent the luer connector for assisting in preventing accidental disengagement of the fluid flow connectors. The second arms of the retaining clip further providing a strain relief or additional support for the tubing of the second tubing set, and retention of the IV connection clip on the tubing of the second tubing set away from the IV connectors for convenient storage between uses.
