Intravenous (IV) poles designed to be mounted on the ceiling, usually attached to a track-and-carrier system that allows the movement of the pole along a track. These poles typically consist of a slender metal structure including a telescoping rod that permits height adjustment, an assembly at the upper part for attachment to the ceiling fixture or carrier, and a hanger with one or more hooks at the lower end. Ceiling-mounted IV poles are mainly used in healthcare areas where administration of IV fluids is frequent and/or the amount of floor space is critical.
