Medline Adjustable Homecare IV Pole for Home Use

I needed an IV pole for work that has the look of a hospital IV pole, but could be relatively easily transported from one location to another. This IV pole was perfect for those purposes. The top portion has the metal look and downward curved style hooks of hospital IV poles. And despite not having a huge, wide, and super heavy base, the pole still stands solidly and sturdily (for what it is -- mind you it's obviously not meant to take hospital-level abuse). Was a little surprised that the telescoping pieces tighten via turning the pieces themselves. But however it worked, it seemed more than stable enough, and held up 1000 mL fluid bags just fine, even at pretty tall / extended heights. Most importantly, this IV pole is lightweight enough, telescopes down short enough, and the base folds in skinny enough, that it is easily transportable between different locations. Do read the dimensions, as in my opinion, the last product picture makes the compacted pole look shorter than it actually is. However, I think this is about as short yet still sturdy and capable of being extended to full height, as you're going to get. Just know you're not going to fit this thing entirely in a backpack, without quite some length sticking out the top. This IV pole is also a reasonable size and weight to send via mail without breaking the bank. The included carry case is admittedly pretty cheap-feeling, but it does the job fine. Combined with the very reasonable price, this IV pole is a win for a transportable, real IV pole.

We have bought several for our company and love them. They are sturdy but portable and come with a carrying bag.

Worse pole ever invented!! Don't buy this unless you want to spend hours trying to fix the multiple parts coming apart.

Easy to assemble and break down and carrying bag is well made and big enough to comfortably put away pole.

The stand is really fine and I'll make it work because thats what you do when you work in Healthcare however the stand is a little unsteady when an iv bag is hanging from one of the hooks. It's as if there should be another bag hanging on the opposite side just to steady the weight and balance.

I have this for my daughter's feeding tube. It's easy to take along to grandmas house when we go to visit. I haven't had to travel with it yet, but it is small enough to fit in a medium to large suitcase if needed. Very light, and comes with a handy case. I use this instead of the one given by the hospital because it takes up less room and is easier to move around the house.

Nice heave duty metal, leg stands are steady. I was expecting something flimsy, like you seem to get with everything, so I was happy that I picked the right thing for a change. Thanks.

I bought this to replace another iv pole for mobile IV work that was throwing a got and this one worked well for 2 days and is now also stuck on the second level.
