Cable-tubing organizer system for medical care environments

Abstract

A cable-tubing organizer system is provided for storing and organizing wire leads and tubing extending from monitoring equipment used in an operating room or other patient care environment. The organizer system includes a monitoring lead assembly, a transducer support device, and a transport plate. The monitoring lead assembly includes a plurality of clips, mounted on a base plate, for containing one or more coils of wire or tubing extending from operating room monitoring equipment. The monitoring lead assembly includes an attachment mechanism for securing the assembly to an operating table or any suitably convenient structure. The transducer support device includes a transducer bracket for securing a transducer holder that contains several different transducers. The transducer bracket translates vertically on a slotted plate for adjustment to patient chest level. The transducer support device includes a brace for containing wire leads or tubing and a base for insertion between an operating table and a mattress. The transport plate includes a transducer holder and a plurality of clips mounted on a breast plate for containing one or more coils of wire or tubing extending from a transducer.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A transducer support device for securing a transducer holder containing medical transducers used for measuring a patient's arterial and venous pressures comprising: 
 a plate having a first end and a second end;    a transducer bracket for securing the transducer holder, said bracket mounted on said plate; and    a brace secured to said first end of said plate, wherein said brace is adapted to receive wire leads and tubing.    
     
     
         2 . The transducer support device according to    claim 1   , wherein said transducer bracket includes a slot for receiving and securing the transducer holder.  
     
     
         3 . The transducer support device according to    claim 1   , wherein said transducer bracket includes a means for supporting said transducer bracket in various positions of rotation.  
     
     
         4 . The transducer support device of    claim 1   , further including: 
 a base support mounted substantially transverse to said second end of said support plate, said base support insertable between a mattress and a table for supporting said support plate.
