ABSTRACT:
An arm board for supporting the forearm, wrist and hand during intravenous therapy includes a contoured support having adjoined forearm, wrist and hand support surfaces for conformally supporting the ventral surfaces of the forearm, wrist and palm. A handgrip is provided adjoining the palm support surface, and thumb recesses are provided on each side of the hand support to enable the patient to grip the support. A tubing support member is pivotally mounted at the handgrip to provide support for intravenous tubing. The tubing support member is mounted to be pivotable about its handgrip mounting as well as to be vertically adjustable with respect to the handgrip. The pivot mounting is contained within the handgrip and includes a locking or clamping mechanism which is manually operable via a thumbwheel accessible through the handgrip for fixing the tubing support in place.
