The hanger comprises two basic parts: a first member and a second member rotationally affixed to the first member to enable the hanger to be placed in an infusion, drain, or storage position. Hanger means are attached to the second member to enable the solution container hanger to be hung from a door or other elevated structure for infusion of a solution. Support means are attached to the first and second members from which a solution container is hung for infusion or drain. The first and second members are positioned substantially perpendicular in a drain position and substantially parallel in an infusion or storage position.
