saline bags

Intravenous fluid containers

Saline bags are plastic pouches containing sterile saltwater solution, used in medical settings for intravenous hydration, diluting medications, or flushing IV lines.

They hang from poles beside hospital beds, dripping fluid through tubes into patients' veins: The nurse hooked up a fresh saline bag.

During shortages, hospitals ration them carefully.
