I.V. Crane Elevate
Revolutionnary I.V. Pole designed specifically with the safety of caregivers and patients in mind.
Innovative Patent Pending Features:
- Hooks that raise and lower to enable caregivers to install I.V. bags (some weighing nearly 12lbs) at a more ergonomic and less physically strenuous height.
- Fold out pump supports to bear the weight of heavy awkward pumps while attaching securely.
- A single click brake to prevent unwanted rolling while at bedside or while attaching equipment.
- A base that's designed to keep its stability even with numerous pumps installed and shaped to minimize tripping points.
- All this and still priced comparable to existing popular I.V. poles!

Base:
Feature 1: The base is designed to keeps its stability even with multiple pumps installed. This is accomplished by positioning the wheels around to where the pumps are installed. This keeps the center of gravity over the wheels.
Feature 2: The five circular steel disks over each wheel are stability pads and add additional weight to the base. They are positioned over each wheel to maximize their effect. By moving the weight away from the pivot points (tipping points), they are much more affective.
Feature 3: The shape of the base minimizes tripping hazards. The back and sides of the pole, where the patient will walk, only has one leg. This makes it much easier to transport. While using the pole as a walker, the patient can concentrate on walking without fear of tripping on the base.
Feature 4: The low height of the base allows it to fit under moste beds with ease.
Feature 5: The base has only three legs...this allows it to easily fit around or under furniture/beds.
