ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for tethering elongated members, such as cables, tubes and the like, to a human body, is disclosed. The tether is configurable to attach to various human appendages and includes an embodiment that is strong enough to support a heavy cable, such as a hospital ultrasound equipment cable. The tether can further accommodate various diameters of cables, tubes, cords and the like, including writing implements, and can be comprised of various alternative substances, including semi-rigid, soft and non-allergenic materials. A critical aspect of the present invention is that the cable, tube, cord and the like be quickly releasable from the body by tugging the cable, tube, cord and the like.
