Ringo

IV Medical Product for Pediatric patients

Children use adult IV stands in hospitals even though these are unsafe for them. The poles are too tall, IV lines frequently tangle due to incorrect length, and the five-legged base poses a tripping hazard. Despite these challenges, children remain active. They often pull or ride IV poles, causing stress for parents and medical staff. Ringo addresses these challenges by considering children's body size and behavioral patterns, focusing on safety and fun.
