My wife is a phlebotomist. She requested a way to strap the blood tubes on her arm and this is what I came up with. She used it for the first time last night and was in love with it.

Honestly, if you are doing well for yourself, post these files and spread the word on medical forums. If you're not, stop posting this on Lemmy, go to a patent attorney (assuming others don't exist), and sell these. This is a wonderful idea, and while I'm almost always for giving away when you can, this is one of those moments where a simple thing is 100% genius. Good on you.
Thank you. Never would have thought about patenting something like this. Will have to see if a patent already exist. Will have to look into that eventually. Still in Testing phase currently.
Seriously, delete the post. Document every step of the way. Let me know of you need angel investment money. This is a gold mine.
Yeah, the potential for a medical place to hank this idea because it saves their techs 6 minutes a day each, ends up being millions a year, per company. OP is legit sitting on a billion dollar idea.
