1. An apparatus comprising:
- two members configured to be coupled together such that the two members cooperate to encircle an intraosseous device to resist movement of the intraosseous device relative to the members, where the two members when coupled together cooperate to define an opening for the intraosseous device, where the two members define opposite sides of the opening; and
one or more flexible tabs each coupled to at least one of the members and comprising an adhesive layer configured to be coupled to skin of a patient,where the members each have a proximal surface configured to face the skin of the patient, where a longitudinal axis of the opening is disposed at a non-zero angle relative to a plane of the proximal surface,where the members each have a coupling surface, each coupling surface defining a first groove configured to receive a portion of the intraosseous device when the intraosseous device is in a first position in the opening relative to the proximal surface of at least one of the two members and a second groove configured to receive the portion of the intraosseous device when the intraosseous device is in a second position in the opening relative to the proximal surface of at least one of the two members, the first position closer to the proximal surface of at least one of the two members than the second position.

Abstract
Stabilizers for intraosseous devices, such as, for example, stabilizers that may be coupled to an intraosseous device (e.g., a device including an intraosseous needle) while a portion of the device extends into a patient'"'"'s bone and/or while the device is coupled to a fluid source (e.g., FV bag, syringe, etc.).

18. A kit comprising:
-
three or more members each configured to be coupled to any of the other plurality of members such that the coupled members cooperate to encircle an intraosseous device to resist movement of the intraosseous device relative to the members, where the coupled members cooperate to define an opening for the intraosseous device, where the coupled members define opposite sides of the opening; and a plurality of flexible tabs each coupled to at least one of the members and comprising an adhesive layer configured to be coupled to skin of a patient, where the three or more members each have a proximal surface configured to face the skin of the patient, where a longitudinal axis of the opening is disposed at a non-zero angle relative to a plane of the proximal surface, where the three or more members each have a coupling surface, each coupling surface defining a first groove configured to receive a portion of the intraosseous device when the intraosseous device is in a first position in the opening relative to the proximal surface of at least one of the three or more members and a second groove configured to receive the portion of the intraosseous device when the intraosseous device is in a second position in the opening relative to the proximal surface of at least one of the three or more members, the first position closer to the proximal surface of at least one of the three or more members than the second position. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A component comprising:
-
a member; and a flexible tab coupled to the member and comprising an adhesive layer configured to be coupled to skin of a patient; where the member is configured to be coupled to a substantially identical member such that the coupled members cooperate to encircle an intraosseous device to resist movement of the intraosseous device relative to the members, where the coupled members cooperate to define an opening for the intraosseous device, where the coupled members define opposite sides of the opening, where the member and the substantially identical member each have a proximal surface configured to face the skin of the patient, where a longitudinal axis of the opening is disposed at a non-zero angle relative to a plane of the proximal surface, where the member and the substantially identical member each have a coupling surface, each coupling surface defining a first groove configured to receive a portion of the intraosseous device when the intraosseous device is in a first position in the opening relative to the proximal surface of at least one of the member and the substantially identical member and a second groove configured to receive the portion of the intraosseous device when the intraosseous device is in a second position in the opening relative to the proximal surface of at least one of the member and the substantially identical member, the first position closer to the proximal surface of at least one of the member and the substantially identical member than the second position. - View Dependent Claims (22)
