Abstract
An adjustable bottle support for a pump used in medical procedures comprises first and second support members pivotally connected together. The first and second support members can be moved between a first position in which they are aligned and level, and a second position in which the second support member is tilted relative to the first support member, to enable the support to hold different configurations of bottle.
