- Specialized catheter extension set used in IV therapy
Purpose
- Used to extend an intravenous (IV) line from a catheter to a primary IV administration set
- The "3-lead" design means it has three separate lines or ports
- Allows for the simultaneous administration of different fluids or medications through the same catheter access point
- Particularly useful in critical care settings where a patient requires multiple infusions
Features
-
0.22 Micron Filter:
- A critical feature of this product is the inclusion of a 0.22micron filter
- This filter is a high-efficiency particulate filter that is used to remove bacteria and other particulates from the IV fluid before it enters the patient's bloodstream
- This is a crucial safety measure, especially for pediatric or immunocompromised patients
-
Male Luer Lock Adapter:
- Has a male luer lock adapter, a standard connection type that ensures a secure, leak-proof connection to the catheter or other IV devices
-
Microbore Tubing:
- Has microbore tubing, which means it has a smaller internal diameter
- Often used for pediatric patients or for administering small, controlled volumes of medication
- Priming Volume
- 1.0ml which is the amount of fluid needed to fill the set before it reaches the patient
Benefits
- Enhanced patient safety:
- The 0.22-micron filter is a crucial safety measure, reducing the risk of bacterial infections and infusion of particulates, which is particularly beneficial for vulnerable patients
- Improved workflow efficiency:
- The 3-lead configuration allows clinicians to manage multiple IV lines efficiently without needing multiple puncture sites, streamlining care
- Secure connections:
- The luer lock adapters provide secure connections, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection or leakage during therapy
- Versatility:
- Suitable for both pump and gravity applications, making it a flexible addition to IV therapy protocols
- Reduced touch contamination:
- Using extension sets and single-set technology can reduce the number of times IV lines need to be manipulated or changed, thereby minimizing the risk of touch contamination
