An intravenous (IV) stand/pole is a mobile or stationary medical device used in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings to suspend IV bags or bottles. Typically made of steel or aluminum, its structure includes a support pole, a height adjustment mechanism, and multiple hooks (such as four hooks), ensuring stable, safe, and convenient fluid delivery to patients during movement or treatment.
Structure and Features
Main Material: Usually made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy, making it sturdy and durable, and able to withstand frequent cleaning and disinfection.
Height Adjustment: Features an adjustable height design to meet the needs of different treatment positions (lying down, sitting).
Hook Design: Typically equipped with multiple hooks, allowing multiple IV bags or bottles to be suspended simultaneously.
Mobility: Modern IV stands are often equipped with smooth casters, making it easy for medical staff and patients to move them to the required location.
Types: Includes floor-standing mobile types, bedside fixed types, etc., and some advanced models can accommodate more equipment accessories.
Applicable Scenarios
Hospitals and Clinics: Used in infusion rooms, wards, operating rooms, and other places where intravenous drip therapy is performed.
Home Care: Meets the home treatment needs of patients who require long-term bed rest or intravenous nutritional support.
Function
The design of the IV stand aims to ensure that the IV bag (or bottle) is at a high position, utilizing the principle of hydrostatic pressure to stably infuse medication, blood products, or nutritional fluids into the patient’s body.
