Pitch-It IV Pole

Description

Perfect Solution to Hang Bag to Give Your Cat Subcutaneous Fluids!

It can be frustrating to find a good spot in your home to hang the fluids bag to give your cat subcutaneous fluids. Ideally, you want to find a location where your cat is most relaxed and comfortable. But this often leaves limited options for hanging the fluids bag to ensure the gravity flow works properly.

The Pitch-It IV Pole is perfect for gravity-feed infusion. These IV poles are portable, lightweight and collapsible, making them easy to use and transport. The pole is simply extended, and it’s ready to use.

The Pitch–It IV pole is ideal for home infusion, home healthcare, and hospice. It can also be used anywhere IV sedation or infusion is provided with infrequent use or limited space, such as dental or veterinary surgery.
