At the
Town Hall meeting at the Oley annual conference, a member asked about IV poles
short enough to fit into a suitcase. We received the following e-mail from one
of our Regional Coordinators in response.
The Pitch-It® IV pole Model No 30003
collapses to less than 28” x 3” and is very lightweight (aluminum). Because it
is so lightweight (and relatively thin) it is not as sturdy as the standard IV
pole. However, I just attached an old pump clamp without a problem and I think
this pole would work for a variety of purposes. It will not fit in a 24”
carry-on suitcase, but it could very easily be carried onto a plane in its own
box. This pole is listed on many Internet sites.
