TECHNICAL FIELD

The invention relates to an IV pole for use in the treatment of a patient with an IV drip.

BACKGROUND

It is known that there are methods to facilitate the patient's navigation with the IV during the intravenous treatment process. There are different methods such as wheeled IV pole, shoulder IV pole, IV pole with carrying vest, and waist-fitting IV-drain carrying belt.

Among these known methods, the methods with patent numbers TR2012/08103, US20140217138A1 , TR2015/02432, and TR2019/00287 where the patient is mobilized alone can be cited. These methods allow the patient to move around on their own, and climb up and down stairs, however, there are some inconveniences with the methods, such as instability or instability of the IV pole, or concerns about falling. A vest is put on the patient in patent number TR2012/08103. In this method, there is no concern about the IV pole falling off, but it creates discomfort by making the patient wear a vest.

According to patents US20140217138A1 and TR2015/02432, when the shoulder-mounted IV pole is worn on the patient, the belt passing through the patient's armpit may create a comfort problem in the patient. In addition, the shoulder attachment of the IV drip may fall off or cause concern about falling off. Another method, patent number TR2019/00287, is very efficient in terms of comfort, but the fact that the point where the IV pole is fixed is behind the belt can damage the patient in cases such as bumps and falls, and the fact that the IV pole is behind the belt does not allow the patient to wear it without assistance.

As a result, the above-mentioned issues have made it necessary to innovate in the related technical field.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an IV pole for eliminating the above-mentioned disadvantages and bringing new advantages to the relevant technical field. An object of the invention is to provide an IV pole that can be easily attached and detached independently.

Another object of the invention is to provide an IV pole for assisting in the fulfillment of personal functions.

Another object of the invention is to provide an easy-to-manufacture and economical IV pole.

In order to accomplish all the above-mentioned objects and those which will arise from the following detailed description, the present invention is an IV pole for use in the IV treatment of a patient. Accordingly, its novelty is that it comprises at least one pole that can be fixed on the patient's body and at least one carrying element that can be positioned in at least one pocket located on said pole and has at least one hook that allows the IV to be carried on it. This allows the patient to be comfortably displaced in the treatment with an IV drip and contributes positively to the treatment process.

A possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the pole comprises at least one first belt positionable around the patient's waist. This ensures that the IV pole is fixed on the waist area of the person.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that said first belt comprises at least one first buckle. This ensures that the desired tightness adjustment is made while the IV pole is wrapped around the waist of the person.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the pole comprises at least one second belt which can be positioned on the patient's chest. This ensures that the carrying element is positioned around the patient's chest.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that said second belt comprises at least one second buckle. This allows the tension adjustment of the second belt.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the second belt comprises at least one first belt piece. This ensures that the pocket is fixed in a predetermined position on the chest. Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the second belt comprises at least one second belt piece. This ensures that the first belt piece remains on the patient's shoulder.

Another possible embodiment of the invention is characterized in that said carrying element comprises at least one extending part. This allows the IV to be raised according to the patient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this detailed description, the subject matter of the invention is explained only by means of examples that will not have any limiting effect for a better understanding of the subject matter.

Figure 1 shows a representative front view of the IV pole (1) of the invention. Accordingly, the said IV pole; (1) allows the patient to increase mobility of the patient with the IV (30) in case the patient is connected to the IV (30). For this purpose, the IV pole (1) is equipped with at least one pole (10) and at least one carrying element (20).

Figure 2 shows a representative rear view of the IV pole (1 ) of the invention. Accordingly, the pole (10) mentioned in the invention can be an element that the patient can wear and that can be associated with the mentioned carrying element. The pole (10) has various elements on it to wrap at least partially around the patient's body and stabilize it. At least one first belt (11 ) and at least one second belt (13) are provided on the pole (10). Said first belt (11) and said second belt (13) may preferably be made of woven fabric material.

The first belt (11 ) is positioned around the waist of the patient and wraps around it. There is at least one first buckle (12) on the first belt (11). The first buckle (12) ensures that the two ends of the first belt (11 ) are secured together when it is wrapped around the patient's waist. The second belt (13) runs between the patient's shoulders and waist and connects with the first belt (11). The second belt (13) has at least one first belt piece (14) and at least one second belt piece (16). The first belt piece (14) extends from the first belt (11 ) to the patient's shoulder and is connected from the patient's shoulder to the first belt (11 ) again around the chest. There is at least one pocket (15) on the first belt piece (14). The carrying element (20) is positioned in the said pocket (15). In this way, the first belt piece (14) ensures that the carrying element (20) is rigidly held on the patient. The second belt piece (16) prevents the first belt piece (14) from falling off the patient's shoulder. For this, the second belt piece (16) is connected to the first belt (11) in such a way that it exerts a pulling force in the opposite direction to the direction in which the first belt piece (14) falls from the shoulder. For its adjustment, there is at least one second buckle (17) on the second belt (13). By means of the second buckle (17), the tension is adjusted by positioning on the second belt piece (16).

Figure 3 shows a representative side view of the IV pole (1) of the invention. Accordingly, the carrying element (20) on the IV pole (1) is placed in the pocket (15) of the pole (10) and the IV (30) is raised according to the patient. In order to do so, the carrying element (20) has at least one extending part (21 ) and at least one hook (22). The said extending part (21) has a predetermined length and allows the IV (30) to be raised off the ground. The said hook (22) ensures that the IV (30) is placed on the carrying element (20) and moved together with the carrying element (20).

With all this embodiment, an IV pole (1 ) that is easy to manufacture and can be manufactured from cheap materials is obtained. The pole (10) used for this is manufactured by personnel with ordinary knowledge, facilitating its dissemination. In addition, the costs of complex structures in the state of the art are avoided.

The protection scope of the invention is specified in the appended claims and certainly cannot be limited to what is described in this detailed description for illustrative purposes. It is clear that those skilled in the art can come up with similar embodiments in the light of the foregoing without departing from the main theme of the invention.
