Positioning a cord of a corded instrument is accomplished by securing a wearable cord positioner around a wrist or arm of a technician, and then pressing a cord into the cord positioner. A body of the cord positioner holds the cord in a substantially fixed position relative to a band. The body may be fixed relative to the band, or the body may be adjustable such that the cord can enter and exit the body at different angles relative to the band. The body may be removeably fastened to the band for easy cleaning or to change the body with a body designed to hold and position a different sized of cord.
