✅ It’s an Infusion Pump! Did you guess it right?

This device delivers fluids—like medications, nutrients, or saline—directly into a patient’s bloodstream in precise amounts. Unlike a standard IV drip, infusion pumps can be programmed to give the exact dosage needed over a set period of time, ensuring safe and effective treatment.
