Bright Idea
Cart for HPN Storage, Preparation
While my husband and I were at the Oley Foundation Conference in Minneapolis, we found an awesome cart for HPN (home parenteral nutrition) at Ikea. Similar to a tea cart, the Bygel utility cart is constructed of plastic and metal, with three levels of storage, including a tray that is great for holding your cannulas, IV tubing, and swab sticks. The top surface is a good workspace for prepping HPN. We purchased cups that attach to the side to hold all of our syringes, heparin, and flushes. Since it is plastic, it is easy to disinfect with whatever cleaner you prefer. And it has wheels for ease of transport. At $29.99 it was a worthy find, and a sweet deal.
