Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to support structures for drainage tubes to relax dependent loops and mitigate fluid pooling. Embodiments include support structures configured to receive an elastic tube and impart rigid or malleable properties thereon. These properties allow a clinician to position the tube to provide a consistent negative incline. Embodiments of support structures include an interlocking segmented tube, a bi-stable or mono-stable support structure, a jacket support structure, or a magnet support structure. Embodiments further include a malleable wire disposed within a wall of an elastic tube, or portions of a tube displaying differing elastic, malleable, or rigid properties. Also disclosed are magnetic peristalsis devices configured to urge fluid through a tube lumen.

Provided are mobility assistance devices, particularly useful in medical settings where a patient ambulation is desired but the patient remains connected to one or many medical components. The system comprises a mast connected to a base, wherein the mast is angled with respect to the base and from which any number of medical components is supported. The device geometry and connections ensure the device is extremely stable and tip-resistant. Also provided are oxygen tank holders to reliably and conveniently hold oxygen tanks and power management systems that reliably provide electrical power without impacting device performance or mobility. The device is deployable to permit conversion between a compact storage configuration and a stable deployed configuration.

An intravenous (IV) tube organization apparatus includes at least one identification placard configured to couple to an IV tube. The identification placard includes a first tube capture portion configured to couple the identification placard to the IV tube, and a data portion to receive and display information regarding the IV tube. The IV tube organization apparatus also includes at least one arrangement clip configured to couple to the IV tube. The IV tube organization apparatus also includes a distinguishing characteristic to differentiate the apparatus from another apparatus.

A locking line tag is provided that includes an elongated sheet of material having a top, bottom, and opposing lateral sides between the top and bottom, the sheet further having a plurality of scored lines therein that when folded form a tubular structure with a panel at each of the top and bottom ends that interlock with each other and at least a pair of intermediate sections, each of the intermediate sections having a key slot therein that open to opposing lateral sides of the locking tag.

The IV tube organization apparatus also includes at least one arrangement clip configured to couple to the IV tube. The IV tube organization apparatus also includes a distinguishing characteristic to differentiate the apparatus from another apparatus.

One embodiment of a mechanism for attaching a syringe and separated plunger to a bottle and of the type having an attachment member (110) from which restraints (114) extend. In being fastened to the bottle, the restraints enable convenient drying and storage of the syringe and the separated plunger. Other embodiments are described and shown.

A barrier system is provided for use in reducing infections associated with post-operative surgical incision and/or a percutaneous medical device, such as a catheter, that is disposed within the surgical incision. Such a barrier system may include: a barrier device having a skin-contacting surface and a catheter-receiving surface; and an adhesive composition configured for adhering to skin, the barrier device, and/or the catheter so as to form a barrier at or adjacent to an incision in the skin where the catheter is percutaneously inserted through the skin. A tensioning anchor and associated system of two or more tensioning anchors is provided for post-operative wound closure. A method for applying and removing the barrier device and tensioning anchors is also provided.

A multi-purpose covering for use with a medical device having a housing and an access port includes a substrate with a first end and a second end. The substrate defines the structure of the covering. The covering also includes a first securing portion nearer the first end of the substrate for securing at least one protective cap to the substrate, and a second securing portion nearer the second end for securing the substrate to the medical device. To protect the access port when the covering is sealed to the medical device, the covering can also include a sealing portion configured to be releasably secured to the medical device.

A hose caddy includes a body made of a rigid material. The body includes a tube shape with an outer surface and an inner surface. The inner surface defines a channel having a first open end, and a second open end. One, or more, couplers protrude from a rear side of the outer surface of the body and couples the body to a surface. At least one hook protrudes from a front side of the outer surface of the body.

A comfort, infusion-friendly, sweater supplements existing attire of a wearer and accommodates pre-existing medical attachments. The sweater includes a first arm portion with top and bottom plackets extending lengthwise from a collar portion to a wrist portion, plackets having fasteners and mating fasteners. The sweater has a first front portion connected to the first arm portion, a second arm portion, a second front portion and a back. A collar pull tab, having a pull fastener, extends outward near the collar. A mating fastener is on the collar portion or the back portion. Engaging the first arm fasteners and mating fasteners dons the sweater over the existing attire of the wearer, without disruption the medical connections. Based on the plackets and pull tab(s), a wearer can single-handedly don and remove the sweater, adding self-sufficient comfort with a medical procedure.
