PRODUCT INFORMATION

The JACK Infusion Hook V2 by Dimatex is a preformed aluminum IV bag hook with a 360° swiveling non-return valve connector, non-slip rubber tip, and Hypalon joint designed for hanging IV infusion bags directly on the rescuer's clothing, gear, ambulance interiors, or any hookable surface. Weighing just 50 grams, it provides a field-expedient IV bag hanging solution when no IV pole is available — critical in TCCC, tactical EMS, and transport medicine scenarios.

Product Overview

Every IV line requires a bag suspended above the patient for gravity-fed delivery — a basic principle of fluid administration that becomes a logistical challenge in the field. No IV pole. No ceiling hook. The medic has both hands occupied with the patient. The JACK V2 Infusion Hook solves this problem with a lightweight, packable aluminum hook that can hang an IV bag from a medic's uniform webbing, MOLLE pouch, chest rig, vehicle roll bar, door frame, or any other surface that accommodates a hook.

The Hypalon joint provides the JACK V2 with the flexibility to conform to irregular hanging surfaces without transmitting vibration forces to the IV bag and tubing. Hypalon is a chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber known for excellent resistance to temperature extremes, UV radiation, chemicals, and abrasion — critical properties for a medical accessory deployed in harsh outdoor, desert, arctic, or maritime environments.

The 360° swiveling plastic hook with non-return valve prevents IV line disconnection under rotational stress — the bag can swing freely without torquing the IV set connection. The non-slip rubber tip prevents the hook from sliding off smooth surfaces (vehicle rails, ambulance aluminum extrusion) during patient movement. Six high-strength rings on the double-walled strap accommodate latex glove attachment — allowing the medic to hang gloves for quick-access during extended care or transport scenarios.

Operational Applications

CASEVAC/MEDEVAC: Hang IV bags from aircraft or vehicle overhead rails during patient transport
CCP (Casualty Collection Point): Suspend infusion bags from field-expedient support structures without IV poles
Tactical EMS: Hook IV bag to medic's own body armor webbing while treating a casualty in confined or unsafe positions
MCI Response: Rapidly establish gravity-feed IV infusions for multiple patients without pole infrastructure
Remote/Austere Medicine: Wilderness EMS and remote camp medicine where IV poles are unavailable

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.
