Apparatus and method to elevate an infusion source

A method to elevate an infusion source, comprising the steps of:

• channeling fluid to flow from an infusion source through an irrigation tubular element;
• accommodating said irrigation tubular element in an area of a base, said irrigation tubular element channeling the fluid to flow from the infusion source to said area and then in a direction away from said base;
• holding the infusion source by the hanger at an elevation higher than that of said area of said base;
• extending an extension member from said base;
• and
• arranging a pole adaptor between said extension member and the hanger to space apart said hanger from said base an elevational difference between said infusion source and said area of said base is between 79 cm and 140 cm.

An apparatus to elevate an infusion source, comprising:

• an infusion source;
• an irrigation tubular element extending from said infusion source to channel fluid therethrough;
• a base having an area accommodating said irrigation tubular element, said irrigation tubular element channeling the fluid to flow from the infusion source to said area and then in a direction away from said base;
• at least one extension member extending from said base;
• a pole adaptor;
• and
• a hanger spaced from said area of said base and holding said infusion source at an elevation higher than said area of said base, said pole adaptor being arranged between said hanger and said extension member to space said hanger and base apart so that an elevational difference between said infusion source and said area of said base is sufficient to provide adequate infusion delivery from the infusion source to said area of said base of at least 250 mm Hg of vacuum.
