ABSTRACT:
An IV lock for preventing IV connectors from separating. The IV lock has a split-fork lock at one end for releasably securing a male IV fitting or connector to the IV lock and a snap-fit clamp at the opposite end for releasably securing a catheter to the IV lock. The male IV fitting and catheter are prevented from moving axially and transversely of their length when secured in the IV lock. The IV lock supports the IV fitting and catheter at the same angle at which the catheter was inserted into the patient. Apertures are provided in the base of the IV lock so that IV fluid flowing through the male IV fitting may be viewed against the skin of the patient.
