JACK Infusionshaken - V2

Can the JACK V2 hook hold a full 1,000 mL IV bag?

Yes. The JACK V2 is constructed from preformed aluminum with a high-strength double-walled Hypalon strap and is rated to support full IV fluid bags, including 500 mL and 1,000 mL volumes. The non-slip rubber tip and Hypalon joint provide stable suspension even during patient movement or vibration in vehicle transport scenarios.

What surfaces can the JACK V2 hook onto?

The JACK V2 can hook onto any surface that accommodates its preformed aluminum profile: MOLLE webbing on chest rigs and plate carriers, uniform belt loops, ambulance overhead rails, vehicle roll bars, door frames, IV poles, medical cots, tree branches, and any tubular or flat surface the hook geometry fits. The non-slip tip prevents sliding on smooth metallic surfaces.

What is the non-return valve on the swiveling connector?

The non-return valve prevents IV line backflow through the connector when the hook rotates or the bag swings during patient movement. This maintains IV line integrity and prevents air introduction into the IV set during positional changes. The 360° swivel allows the bag to orient freely in response to movement without torquing the IV tubing connection at the bag spike port.

Why is Hypalon used for the joint material?

Hypalon (chlorosulfonated polyethylene) is a high-performance synthetic rubber with exceptional resistance to temperature extremes (-40°C to +130°C), UV radiation, ozone, chemicals, and abrasion. For a medical accessory that may be deployed in desert heat, arctic cold, maritime salt air, or chemical environments, Hypalon outperforms natural rubber or standard PVC in maintaining flexibility and structural integrity across the full operational temperature range.

How does the JACK V2 compare to using improvised hanging methods?

Improvised hanging methods (tying IV bags to structures with cord or webbing) risk IV set disconnection, bag rotation causing line kinking, and loss of hang point during patient movement. The JACK V2's non-return valve, non-slip tip, and positive-lock hook geometry provide a designed, reliable solution that maintains IV line integrity under movement. At 50 grams, the weight investment for this reliability is negligible.
