ABSTRACT:
A bracelet adapted to secure an intravenous tube to the wrist of a medical patient is formed of a single elongated strip of flexible plastic material. One end of the strip tapers to a rounded point, with a plurality of ratchet teeth formed in the edges of the strip adjacent to the tapered portion. The opposite end is provided with an opening to receive the first end and to engage the ratchet teeth and form a loop of adjustable length, with a pair of lateral slots provided to retain the distal portion of the first end flush with the bracelet. The medial portion of the strip includes a plurality of pairs of longitudinally extending slots, each pair adapted to receive the intravenous tube therethrough, so that the tube may be secured by describing a retrocurved configuration through the bracelet slots.
