A vascular access system may include a catheter adapter and an extension set. The extension set may include a first end having a first connector coupled to the catheter adapter, a second end having a second connector, an extension tube disposed between the first end and the second end, and a brace configured to hold the extension tube in a curved position. The extension set may alternatively include a housing disposed between the first connector and the extension tube, where the housing is U-shaped or V-shaped and a fluid pathway extends through the housing.

A medical sleeve for intravenous therapy (IV) lines. More particularly, systems that are configured to limit the tangling of IV lines or other types of cords, lines, cables, etc. positioned within the sleeve.

Embodiments are directed toward a medical line holder system. The system preferably includes a tray and a secure line holder. The tray preferably has a holder receptacle. The tray preferably couples to a head of a surgery bed. The holder receptacle preferably receives and separably secures the secure line holder. The secure line holder preferably securely holds multiple medical lines both while being secured in the receptacle and while being separated from the tray. The secure line holder preferably separably couples to a bed rail of a hospital transportation bed or a hospital recovery bed after being separated from the tray.

A clip for holding a flexible elongated medical device. In embodiments, the clip has a hinge; first and second jaws movable with respect to each other about the hinge from a closed position to an open position, each of the jaws having a contact surface, the contact surface of the first jaw being disposed against the contact surface of the second jaw when the clip is in the closed position and away from the contact surface of the second jaw when the clip is in the open position; and flexible material disposed on at least one of the jaws, the flexible material comprising the contact surface. The invention also includes methods of holding a flexible elongated medical device.

Tube management devices are disclosed for use with an infusion set having a flexible tube. An exemplary device includes a central spindle defining an axis, a base member, and an upper member. The base member and upper member may project radially outwardly from the central spindle and may be axially spaced apart. The device may include a plurality of retainer members disposed on at least one of the base member and the upper member. The central spindle, the base member, the upper member, and the plurality of retainer members define a toroidal space sized to receive a variable length of the flexible tube.
