Claim:
A medical line stabilizer assembly comprising: an intravenous tube extending between medication or blood products and a patient, wherein the intravenous tubing comprises pairs of intravenous tubing connectors, and wherein each connector of the pairs of intravenous connectors is associated with a length of the intravenous tubing; and an elongate cylindrical rigid body comprising: a semi-circular open channel formed along the length of the elongate cylindrical rigid body which receives the intravenous tubing; and a plurality of connector receiving cavities evenly spaced along the elongate cylindrical rigid body, wherein each of the plurality of connector receiving cavities receives a corresponding one of the pairs of intravenous tubing connectors, and wherein each of the plurality of connector receiving cavities comprises opposed contact shoulders formed from diametrically opposed recesses in the circumference of the semi-circular open channel which prevent separation of the pairs of intravenous tubing connectors, wherein the elongate cylindrical rigid body has at least two integral closures, at spaced intervals, thereby preventing accidental removal of the intravenous tubing from said semi-circular open channel, each of the at least two integral closures comprising a female receptacle positioned on one side of the semi-circular open channel which receives a flexible, uniformly shaped male tab which extends from an opposed side of the semi-circular open channel, the female receptacle comprising a longitudinal cavity formed in an external bump-like protrusion from the semi-circular open channel.
