Medical limb harness
Abstract
Abstract A new type of lockable limb harness which when attached to an arm or leg securely prevents the limb from slipping out of position, while not obstructing blood circulation at the point of attachment. This new invention consists of two loops made out of fabric or fabric type material joined together plus a ring placed in position so it can traverse the length of the larger loop. The small loop is slipped over a fixed object such as an extending hook from a wall, or an arm extending from an intravenous bottle post, while the larger loop is place around the limb to be supported. The ring, already in position at the top of the large loop is slipped down to securely lock the limb to the harness, with a noose type of hold.
