Abstract

A tubing and cable organizing device that has a main body attachable to a substrate, such as a surface, a wall, a rail, and IV pole or similarly situated surface in a medical treatment area. The organizing device having one or more bendable and non-resilient appendages extending away from the main body and configured for holding or supporting tubing and cables in a medical treatment area. The main body and appendages being covered in an elastic coating that is capable of being formed into decorative shapes or decorative colors.

Claims (29)

1. A tubing and cable organizing device, comprising:

a main body having an inner core covered in an elastic coating;

a first appendage covered in the elastic coating that extends away from the main body, wherein the first appendage is non-resilient and selectively bendable;

a second appendage covered in the elastic coating that extends away from the main body at an orientation generally opposite to the first appendage, wherein the second appendage is non-resilient and selectively bendable;

wherein the elastic coating covering the main body, the first appendage, and the second appendage is unitary giving the tubing and cable organizing device a continuous appearance; and

an attachment means connected to the inner core of the main body.

2. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the elastic coating comprises silicone.

3. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the inner core is a foam, a plastic, or a metal body.

4. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the inner core has a port configured to receive the attachment means.

5. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the first appendage contains a moldable wire embedded within the elastic coating.

6. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the second appendage contains a moldable wire embedded within the elastic coating.

7. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the attachment means is selected from the group consisting of a suction cup, a c-clamp, a rail adaptor, and a spring clamp.

8. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 7 , wherein the rail adaptor comprises a closed rail slot, an open rail clamp, and an open pole clamp.

9. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the elastic coating is formed into a decorative shape or a decorative color.

10. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 9 , wherein the decorative shape is selected from the group consisting of an animal, an emoji, a face, a plant, and a toy.

11. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 1 , wherein the first appendage and the second appendage are both anchored to the main body and both end in a grip member distal from the main body.

12. A tubing and cable organizing device, comprising:

a main body having an inner core covered in a silicone elastic coating;

a first appendage containing a moldable wire embedded within the elastic coating that extends away from the main body, wherein the first appendage is non-resilient and selectively bendable;

a second appendage containing a moldable wire embedded within the elastic coating that extends away from the main body at an orientation generally opposite to the first appendage, wherein the second appendage is non-resilient and selectively bendable;

wherein the elastic coating covering the main body, the first appendage, and the second appendage is unitary giving the tubing and cable organizing device a continuous appearance; and

an attachment means connected to the inner core of the main body.

13. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 12 , wherein the inner core is a foam, a plastic, or a metal body.

14. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 12 , wherein the inner core has a port configured to receive the attachment means.

15. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 12 , wherein the attachment means is selected from the group consisting of a suction cup, a c-clamp, a rail adaptor, and a spring clamp.

16. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 15 , wherein the rail adaptor comprises a closed rail slot, an open rail clamp, and an open pole clamp.

17. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 12 , wherein the elastic coating is formed into a decorative shape or a decorative color.

18. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 17 , wherein the decorative shape is selected from the group consisting of an animal, an emoji, a face, a plant, and a toy.

19. The tubing and cable organizing device of claim 12 , wherein the moldable wire embedded in the first appendage and the moldable wire embedded in the second appendage are both anchored to the main body and both end in a hook or loop contained within a grip member distal from the main body.
