Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved I.V. cover/protector which includes a housing having a generally triangular top, a larger end-wall, a smaller end-wall, and two tapered sides. Two flexible wings are joined by a living hinge along the edge of the two tapered sides. An arch defines a passage through the larger end-wall into the housing. Protuberances are located along the inside walls of the arch for prehension of a catheter/catheter line. The passage defined by the arch and protuberances is oblique to the plane of the flexible wings so that the catheter/catheter line slants downwards toward the insertion site.
