An IV stand, also known as an intravenous pole or IV pole, is a medical device used to hold and support intravenous (IV) bags and other equipment. It typically consists of a tall, adjustable metal pole with hooks or clamps at the top to secure the IV bags. This allows healthcare providers to easily administer fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a patient's bloodstream. IV stands are commonly found in hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare settings. They are designed to be mobile, often featuring wheels for easy movement. This mobility ensures that patients can receive treatment while maintaining comfort and accessibility to medical staff.
