HANGING AROUND Malleable ET stylets are great for piggybacking IV bags

Versatile Tool
Hang IV Bags From Bent ET Stylets

Endotracheal tube stylets are handy devices in many ways. They're strong, sterile and malleable, so with a little bend, they're great for hanging large IV bags. When we do knee scopes, I like to save time by hanging 4 bags, 2 on the IV pole and 2 a little lower on an ET stylet that I've shaped accordingly.
