Abstract

One example embodiment includes a system for securing a portion of a medical device. The system includes a first arm, where the first arm includes a gripper. The system also includes a second arm. The second arm is attached to the first arm, can move relative to the first arm and includes a gripper. The gripper of the first arm and the gripper of the second arm are configured to grip an external object. The system further includes a fastener, where the fastener is configured to releasably attach the first arm to the second arm, and a holder, where the holder is configured to hold at least a portion of a medical device.

Claims (73)

1. A system for securing a portion of a medical device, the system comprising:

a head;

a first arm, wherein the first arm:

is attached to the head;

can move relative to the head; and

includes a gripper;

a second arm, wherein the second arm:

is attached to the head

can move relative to the head; and

includes a gripper;

wherein the gripper of the first arm and the gripper of the second arm are configured to grip an external object;

a fastener, wherein the fastener is configured to releasably attach the first arm to the second arm;

a holder, wherein the holder is configured to hold at least a portion of a medical device; and

an attachment, wherein the attachment is configured to releasably attach the holder to the head.

2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising fastening means, wherein the fastening means is configured to hold the position of the second arm relative to the second arm.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the holder includes slots.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the holder includes four slots.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the holder includes an open rounded portion.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the holder includes three rounded portions, wherein each rounded portion has a different diameter.

7. The system of claim 5 , wherein the rounded portion is configured to hold medical tubing.

8. The system of claim 5 , wherein the rounded portion is configured to hold wiring.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the external object includes clothing.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the external object includes bedding.

11. A system for securing a portion of a medical device, the system comprising:

a body, wherein the body includes:

a head;

a first arm, wherein the first arm:

is attached to the head;

can move relative to the head; and

includes a gripper;

a second arm, wherein the second arm:

is attached to the head;

can move relative to the head; and

includes a gripper;

wherein the gripper of the first arm and the gripper of the second arm are configured to grip an external object;

a fastener, wherein the fastener is configured to releasably attach the first arm to the second arm;

a holder, wherein the holder is configured to hold at least a portion of a medical device; and

an attachment, wherein the attachment:

is configured to releasably attach the holder to the head; and includes:

an attachment body, wherein the attachment body is configured to attach to the head; and

a swivel, wherein the swivel is configured to be at least partially inserted into an opening in the holder.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the gripper of the first arm includes a ridged surface.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the gripper of the first arm is located opposite the attachment of the first arm to the head.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the gripper of the second arm is located opposite the attachment of the second arm to the head.

15. A system for securing a portion of a medical device, the system comprising:

a body, wherein the body includes:

a head;

a first arm, wherein the first arm:

is attached to the head;

can move relative to the head; and

includes a gripper;

a second arm, wherein the second arm:

is attached to the head;

can move relative to the head; and

includes a gripper;

wherein the gripper of the first arm and the gripper of the second arm are configured to grip an external object;

a fastener, wherein the fastener is configured to releasably attach the first arm to the second arm;

a release, wherein the release is configured to release the fastener;

a holder, wherein the holder:

is attached to the head; and

includes four slots, wherein each of the four slots is configured to hold at least a portion of a medical device; and

an attachment, wherein the attachment is configured to releasably attach the holder to the head.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the release includes a lever.

17. The system of claim 15 further comprising:

a first pad on the first arm; and

a second pad on the second arm;

wherein the first pad and the second pad are configured to allow a user to push the first arm and the second arm toward one another.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the fastener includes a first portion attached to the first arm.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the fastener includes a second portion attached to the second arm.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein:

the first portion of the fastener includes a ridged portion;

the second portion of the fastener includes a ridged portion; and

the ridged portion on the first portion of the fastener is configured to engage the ridged portion on the second portion of the fastener.
