IV Stand
Description:
Features of an IV (intravenous) stand:
-
Adjustable Height: IV stands are usually equipped with telescopic poles that allow healthcare providers to adjust the height according to the needs of the patient and the medical procedure.
-
Stable Base: The base of an IV stand is designed to be stable and sturdy to prevent tipping over, even when fully extended or loaded with multiple IV bags or pumps.
-
Hooks for IV Bags: IV stands have multiple hooks or arms from which IV bags or infusion pumps can be suspended securely. These hooks are often adjustable to accommodate different types and sizes of IV bags.
-
Mobility: Many IV stands are mounted on wheels (often with locking mechanisms) to provide easy mobility within healthcare facilities, allowing caregivers to move the stand from one patient's bedside to another or between rooms as needed.
-
Accessory Trays: Some IV stands come with additional features such as accessory trays or baskets for storing medical supplies, facilitating organization and convenience during procedures.
-
Durable Construction: IV stands are typically made from materials like stainless steel or aluminum, chosen for their durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning.
-
Weight Capacity: They are designed to support a significant weight load, ensuring they can safely hold multiple IV bags, infusion pumps, and associated equipment without compromising stability or safety.
