Create some elbow room in your clinic

Create some elbow room in your clinic

To reduce crowding in our surgery room, we have eliminated IV poles by attaching our IV pumps to 24-inch knurled (textured) grab bars. We've found that at least 3 inches of wall clearance is sufficient to place an array of different pumps. In our dental suite, we have two pumps on one grab bar, so we can run a CRI if needed.
