The document describes the IV Suspension System (ISS), a new generation of IV pole. The ISS features retracting legs that suspend off the floor for transport, halo hooks to clearly display IV bags, wheels that roll silently, wings for extra equipment capacity, and a low center of gravity for stability. A suspension mount attaches to beds and carts, and a suspension arm houses and locks the pole for transport. The arm can rotate 90-180 degrees for caregiver mobility.
