A comfort system for comforting a patient of intravenous (IV) therapy through an IV bag, the comfort system comprising:
- a rear-accessible cover having a front surface having three-dimensional contours that define a comfort object;
- a rear surface defining an equipment cavity dimensioned to completely receive the IV bag, the front and the rear surfaces facing opposing relative directions;
- a periphery interfacing the front and the rear surfaces;
- a loop extending upwardly from an upper portion of the periphery;
- two gripping arms spaced apart along and extending from lateral portions the periphery, wherein each gripping arm is elasticized to be movable between a first resting position and a second biased position outward of the periphery,
- whereby the IV bag accesses the equipment cavity laterally from the rear of the cover.

A backless cover for concealing an intravenous (IV) fluid bag with a comfort object, comprising:
- a front surface made of medical grade plastic having three-dimensional contours that incorporates the comfort object in the front surface by defining a neck portion interconnecting a head portion and a body portion and, wherein a maximum body width of the body portion is greater than a maximum head width;
- a rear surface wherein the three-dimensional contours define an equipment cavity dimensioned to receive the IV fluid bag;
- a periphery interfacing the front and the rear surfaces;
- a loop extending upwardly from an upper portion of the periphery;
- and
- two gripping arms spaced apart along and extending from the periphery, wherein the two gripping arms are disposed closer to the neck portion than the maximum body width,
- whereby a backless configuration of the backless cover facilitates access to the IV fluid bag, and whereby the maximum body width and the relative disposition of the two gripping arms facilitates a user handling a delivery equipment operatively associated with a bottom of the IV bag when the delivery equipment is circumscribed by the periphery.
