Abstract

A suspendable, thermally insulating jacket for I.V. fluid bags. The jacket comprises a sheet of thermally insulating material enclosing the bag as it is applied in sick room use. A bag support hook and straps on the jacket support the I.V. bag within the sheet when the latter is in its bag-enclosing condition. A jacket support loop on the jacket support it on the I.V. pole or other support in the sick room. The jacket accordingly provides for maintaining the fluid contents of the I.V. bag at the desired temperature as they are administered to the patient.
