Abstract:
An extremity stabilization apparatus and methods for supporting and immobilizing an extremity during venous access. One example of an apparatus includes a cuff having a top surface structured for receiving a limb of a patient, the cuff having a front end and a back end. The surface of the cuff may be c-shaped such that the cuff partially surrounds the extremity received in the cuff. The apparatus further includes a handle having a grip for receiving the hand of a patient, the grip arranged offset from the front end of the cuff, and an assembly coupled to the cuff, the assembly movable between at least a first position and a second position to change the position of the top surface of the cuff, each of the first position and second positions corresponding to a different angle of the top surface of the cuff.

Claim (Index 3):
The apparatus of  claim 2 ,\n wherein the handle comprises a distal portion and a proximal portion, the grip disposed on the distal portion, and wherein the apparatus further comprises a clamp coupling the proximal portion of the handle to the cuff, the proximal portion of the handle extending through the clamp, the clamp configured to hold the handle immovable when the clamp is in a locked position and when in an unlocked position, allow the grip to rotate within the clamp around a first axis aligned along the proximal portion of the handle.
