ABSTRACT:
An intravenous needle support patch for supporting the head of an infusion needle while protecting the wound from infection includes a first flat section formed of plastic material and a second flat section also formed of plastic material and pivotally joined with the first section, so that the two sections may be spread apart or closed together about a common parting line. One of the two sections, offset from the parting line, is formed with a pair of upstanding posts for receiving the head of an intravenous needle therebetween. A diagonal opening is formed between the sections at the parting line, permitting the infusion needle to pass therethrough. The patch is formed with lines of weakness to provide flexibility and is further formed with tube-receiving posts at the corners for supporting the infusion tube independently of the needle head.
