Abstract
Abstract An intravenous feeding device including a hollow feeding needle having a right angle bend at the end removed from the feeding tip. A length of plastic tubing is connected to the remote end of the needle and extends through a post. The post is secured to a strap arranged for securement to the patient. The post and associated strap can be moved with respect to the needle to enable the strap to be positioned in contact with the patient for securement thereto when the feeding end of the needle is disposed centrally within the vein of the patient. A thumb screw is provided in the post to secure the needle in place once the needle is in position. All of the foregoing functions immobilize the needle so it can not be moved or pulled away from its proper position.
