Abstract
An apparatus and method for organizing and hanging a plurality of I.V. bags on an I.V. pole includes a solid back and a plurality of spaced apart resilient loops, which apparatus fits over a horizontal support bar on the I.V. pole. The resilient loops are movable between an open position and a closed position. The loops are biased to be in the closed position normally, with a free end of the loop overlapping the top edge of the back. The loop is moved to the open position to place I.V. bags onto the loops, and suspend the I.V. bags at spaced apart intervals in organized fashion. The apparatus includes an unobstructed span having a restraining member to secure the apparatus to the I.V. pole. Some or all loops may include locking members to lock the loops in the closed position.
