IV poles are a type of auxiliary treatment equipment and hospital furniture often used in hospitals and clinics. According to different usage scenarios and usage methods, iv poles have evolved into many different types.
According To The Usage
According to the usage, iv pole are divided into four types:
Ceiling Rail IV Pole
Ceiling rail iv poles are generally used in hospital wards. Infusion hangers are generally used in hospital wards with slide rails, pulleys and slide rail plugs. A ward will be equipped with 2-3 slide rails and infusion hangers. The slide rail iv pole is convenient for nurses to move the infusion hanger around the hospital bed when caring for the patient according to the patient’s condition. The infusion hanger does not take up floor space and is a good choice for wards with smaller space.
Socket IV Pole
The socket iv pole is mainly composed of an infusion rod and a drainage hook. The socket is that the iv pole can be used on the bed, patient transfer vehicle, infusion chair, and blood transfusion chair in the hospital ward. When the hospital bed leaves the factory, the iv pole socket will be reserved on the bed frame or infusion chair, which facilitates the installation of the socket iv pole on it.
Mobile Infusion Stand
Mobile infusion stands are used in hospital wards or consulting rooms and clinics. In addition to the adjustable infusion stands, the mobile infusion stands are also equipped with casters and a base, which can be flexibly moved to other places when not in use. When the patient goes to the toilet without anyone to accompany him, a mobile infusion stand is particularly important. The patient can use his free hand to pull the infusion stand to go to the toilet alone.
Disposable Iv Pole
Disposable iv poles are mainly used in emergency situations during emergency treatment or ambulance visits. The material of the disposable iv pole is mainly plastic. It is mainly suitable for low-intensity use scenarios such as home or disposable use.
According To The Usage Scenario
According to the usage scenario, iv pole are divided into three types:
Ward IV Pole
Ward iv poles are mainly divided into three types: rail iv pole, socket iv pole and mobile infusion stand. These three types of iv pole can be well adapted to hospital wards or beds.
Clinic IV Pole
Clinic iv poles are mainly divided into rail iv pole and socket iv pole, equipped with infusion chairs. Patients in clinics generally receive short-term treatment and rarely need to use mobile infusion stands.
MRI Compatible IV Pole
MRI compatible iv poles are mainly used in magnetic resonance imaging environments. iv pole made of general metal materials cannot be used in magnetic resonance imaging environments. MRI compatible iv poles are generally made of plastics of specific materials or titanium alloys and aluminum alloys. Avoid the occurrence of safety hazards.
According To The Material
iv pole are divided into four types according to the material:
Stainless Steel IV Pole
Most iv poles on the market are made of stainless steel. Because stainless steel is easy to clean and not easy to rust, it is suitable for medical sterilization environments. Stainless steel iv poles are heavier and more durable.
Chrome-plated Carbon Steel IV Pole
Chrome-plated carbon steel is much more economical than stainless steel. But it has a short service life and is prone to rust. It is suitable for occasions with limited budget but high intensity of use.
Aluminum Alloy IV Pole
Aluminum alloy is lighter and easier to wear than stainless steel. It is slightly cheaper than stainless steel and is generally used as a mobile infusion stand, suitable for frequent movement scenarios.
Plastic IV Pole
Plastic iv pole is generally used as a disposable iv pole or a low-intensity use scenario. It is easily damaged and is only suitable for emergency situations. However, some specific plastics can be used in MRI scenarios.
Types Of Accessories Of IV Pole
Types of accessories for each part of the iv pole:
IV Pole Hook:
The hook of the iv pole has different numbers of hooks to choose from depending on the usage scenario and intensity:
2 hooks, 4 hooks, 6 hooks, 8 hooks
But we generally make an iv pole with four hooks. This is more commonly used and economical in various hospitals.
Adjustment Knob:
The knob of the iv pole can adjust the height of the iv pole. We produce two types of knobs for you to choose from.
Mobile IV Drip Stand Base:
The iv drip stand base can be made into different types, for example:
3-leg base, 5-leg base, 6-leg base
The more base legs, the more stable the mobile iv drip stand is and the less likely it is to tilt. If you need an economical iv drip stand, you can choose an iv drip stand with a 3-leg base. If you need a high-quality and stable iv drip stand, you can choose an iv drip stand with a 5-leg or 6-leg base. But generally, the 5-leg iv drip stand base is more widely used.
