Abstract
An assembly for supporting and storing an intravenous supply tube and coupling device having a septum includes an elliptical body capable of having the tubing wound thereon and first and second flanges extending radially outwardly from the body. Each flange includes one or more slots for removably receiving the tubing and securing the tubing in place. The assembly is able to hold the tubing and coupling in place while a hypodermic needle is inserted into the coupling to shield the operator's hand to thereby reduce the risk of injury to the operator. In further embodiments two or more assemblies are coupled together in a ganged fashion.
