Abstract: A containment and guide arm for various leads extending from operating room monitoring devices such as a pulse oxygen metering unit and an EKG unit including a generally tubular member which is attachable to any stationary surface within the operating room or other such environment. A plurality of guide members are attached to the generally tubular member, each guide member including a plurality of guides or clamps for containing one or more leads extending from operating room monitoring devices thereby preventing the leads from being strewn about the operating room and hindering activity of doctors and nurses during operations.
