What Are IV Poles?

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. 

Some IV poles are outfitted with a rolling base so they can be easily transported throughout hospital operations for easy accessibility.

How Important Are Reliable IV Poles?

Ask most people to conjure up images of a hospital room and they’ll likely picture IV poles. They are a common sight in any healthcare facility. Due to their repeated usage, IV poles need to be built of durable materials so they can be relied on to keep up with the demanding applications of hospitals. Healthcare professionals rely on IV poles to be able to be easily transported to where they’re needed most - from patient to patient to provide essential care. 

When choosing hospital IV poles, you want to make sure they’re made of the strongest materials that can withstand repeated use and the harsh environments of medical applications. Intravenous poles are supposed to complement and support healthcare professionals during their operations, not hinder. To prevent this, choosing the highest quality IV poles is crucial.
