Abstract
A shoulder strap is provided with raceway provisions for medical tubing. The shoulder strap has opposite ends provided with male and female side-squeeze buckles. The raceway provisions are formed by an inner leaf and outer leaf which fold and fasten together for safely enclosing the medical tubing. The medical tubing extends between a nose piece and a connector end, wherein excess length of the medical tubing is usually coiled up in coils near the connector end. The shoulder strap further includes tubing traps which safely secure the coils. The tubing trap can be formed from snaps, buttons and/or hook-and-pile fastener material. The inner and outer leaves of the shoulder strap can be formed of any suitable material, such as that used in book bags except also provided with foam (cushion) cores.
