IV Tube Organizer

Problem

Oncology nurses tasked my team with addressing the tangling of a patient's numerous IV lines.

Solution

Created an IV line organizer and clamp that simplifies user input and reduces time spent organizing said tubes. The adaptable device clamps onto IV poles, wheelchairs, or bedside rails. With 8 slots design for IV tubes, patients or nurses can easily slide IVs in or out. A drain bag hook was added to the bottom of the clamp to relieve patients from carrying them.
