Abstract:
1. A line holder for organizing multiple elongate medical lines for a patient, the line holder comprising: a sheet of foldable material; a plurality of creases in the sheet of material, the creases extending between two opposing side edges of the sheet of material and defining a plurality of sheet panels separated by the creases, the creases being foldable in alternating opposite directions such that the sheet of material is capable of being folded along the creases between an open configuration in which the panels are spaced from one another and a compact pleated configuration in which the panels abut one another; a plurality of aligned groups of holes in the sheet of material, the aligned groups of holes being arranged along a direction substantially transverse to the creases, each aligned group of holes comprising one hole in each of the panels, wherein when the sheet of material is in the pleated configuration each aligned group of holes forms a corridor through the plurality of panels; and a plurality of slots in the sheet of material, each slot connecting a pair of the holes of one of the aligned group of holes and intersecting one of the creases between the pair of holes, wherein when the sheet of material is in the pleated configuration the slots are aligned to form pathways extending from the intersected creases to the corridors, the pathways being configured to allow medical lines to be inserted into the corridors, whereby the line holder is capable of being folded into a looped configuration such that the corridors form annular tracks.
