A staple of hospital operations, intravenous poles – also known as IV poles – are devices that keep intravenous bags full of medicine or fluid in place. The bags are hung from the hooks at the top of the pole. They are then connected by a tube into a patient’s veins to deliver the vital fluids securely and efficiently.

What Are IV Poles Used For?

1. Administer Medicine
2. Portability
3. Organization

When choosing IV poles for your medical staff, there is much to consider. These are essential medical supplies that will allow your team to administer a steady supply of fluids to patients, whether that be saline solution, antibiotics or even chemotherapy drugs. They are essential for outstanding patient care and must be heavy duty enough to meet the demands of the dynamic medical environment. They also must be easily accessible and easy to use.
