ABSTRACT:
A wrist extending board for cannulation of a catheter and/or arterial blood sampling is disclosed as including an elongated cannulation board having a first end, a second opposing end and several angular bends disposed therebetween. In preferred design, the longitudinal configuration of the cannulation board provides a contoured shape forming an angle of extension sufficient for hyperflexing the supinated hand and wrist of a patient to sufficiently expose the volar aspect of the wrist for cannulation or arterial blood sampling by way of penetrating the radial artery. Preferably disposed approximate the second end of the cannulation board is a fixation member forming an open cavity. The cavity provides an opening for introducing a substantial portion of the supinated hand of the patient therein and further provides means for securing the hand, wrist and forearm of the patient in a fixed relationship with the cannulation board. In addition, at least one retaining member may be formed contiguous with the second end of the cannulation board to provide means for engageably retaining an arterial cannula and its attached tubing for ready access after cannulation or blood sampling.
