The clavipectoral fascia (costocoracoid membrane; coracoclavicular fascia) is a strong fascia situated under cover of the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major.. It occupies the interval between the pectoralis minor and subclavius, and protects the axillary vein and artery, and axillary nerve.
