ABSTRACT:
An IV holder is used in combination with an IV stand having a post, an IV-liquid supply on the stand, and a tube extending from the supply to a recumbent patient adjacent the stand. The holder comprises a clamp body releasably secured to the post, an elongated pole having an inner end fixed to the clamp body and an outer end and extending horizontally from the clamp body and post, and a spring on the outer end of the pole connected to the IV tube between the patient and the supply and holding the tube up in the air above the patient. The outer end of the pole is above the patient, to which end the pole is at least 24 in long. In addition the spring is a tension spring having an upper end secured to the outer end of the pole and a lower end releasably secured to the tube. This spring is stiff enough so that it can hold up the tube, but not so stiff that it prevents the tube from being pulled freely down.
