Abstract
Device for holding and positioning plastic tubing of an intravenous fluid administration set. Device comprises a generally flat, foldable, elongate structure having two outwardly extending arms connected via an intermediate flexible portion having on opposite sides thereof substantially parallel longitudinal recesses which, when the arms are folded against one another, form a longitudinal channel, generally circular in cross section and capable of holding plastic tubing via friction fit. In preferred embodiments, device includes means for irreversibly locking the arms together in a spring-like manner and a tamper prevention and indication means.
