What is an "intravenous pole"?
An intravenous (IV) pole is a device, similar to a stand, used in hospitals and healthcare settings to hold bags of fluids and medications that are given directly into a patient's bloodstream through a thin tube called an IV catheter. This device is designed with adjustable height and hooks to securely hold multiple bags of fluids or medications. It allows healthcare providers easy access to the fluids and medications needed for patient care, making sure they are given safely and efficiently.
