I have only been in the hospital twice (knock on wood) when I had my two sons. I’ve never had to drag an IV pole around with me (crossing all my fingers and toes that my luck continues) so I can’t tell if this new design is good or goofy.
I am all about ergonomics – I have a split keyboard and a sit stand desk that I can’t live without. But the Provita Infuboy Personal IV Pole looks uncomfortable.
The manufacturer Carbonlite says that movement creates independence and strengthens health. Here are its selling points for the Infuboy:
- Patient is able to move freely on slopes even with infusion
- The patient, with both hands free, can hold onto a railing
- Light materials grant high wearing comfort
- Bag (frame) made of high-quality aluminium
- Comfortable screw height adjustment safety
- Plastic frame without toxic ingredients
- No risk of injury thanks to hooks that automatically fold
I think I would feel as if I were preparing to blast off into outer space. Or maybe I would be so glad not to have to hold on to an IV pole that I would feel liberated. What do you think?
