- A standard bore extension set with multiple high-flow stopcocks, used to add extra length and access points to an intravenous (IV) line for fluid and medication administration
Uses
- Intravenous (IV) Fluid and Medication Administration:
- Primarily used to extend existing IV lines for safe delivery of fluids, medications, and electrolytes
- Anesthesia:
- Particularly suited for anesthesia delivery in surgical settings, allowing anesthesiologists to manage multiple fluid and medication lines during procedures
- Critical Care and Emergency Medicine:
- Used in ICUs and emergency departments where precision and reliability in managing fluid and medication delivery are crucial
- Pediatric and Geriatric Care:
- Its design is suitable for patients requiring careful and precise fluid management
- Blood Sampling/Transfusions:
- Can facilitate blood sampling and administration of blood products
Features
- High-Flow ULTRAPORT™ Stopcocks:
- Features five 4-way stopcocks with luer-activated needleless ports, which eliminate the need for caps and help prevent leaks if the handle is inadvertently left open
- Length and Tubing:
- It has a length of 15 inches (approx. 38 cm) with standard bore tubing, providing flexibility in clinical setups
- SPIN-LOCK® Connector:
- Includes a secure connector designed to prevent accidental dislodgment of the IV catheter and ensure a tight seal
- Material Safety:
- The components are not made with DEHP or natural rubber latex, making it suitable for patients with sensitivities to these materials
- Priming Volume:
- Has a low priming volume of approximately 2.4mL
- Sterility:
- Each unit is sterile and intended for single use
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety:
- The Ultraport design and needle-free swabbable valves help minimize the risk of contamination, infection, and needle-stick injuries
- Precise Fluid Control:
- The high-flow stopcocks enable healthcare professionals to have precise control over fluid flow, improving the accuracy of medication and fluid administration
- Operational Efficiency:
- The pre-assembled set reduces preparation time for clinicians and simplifies aseptic technique during IV set changes
- Reduced Leaks:
- The stopcock design avoids leaks even if the handle is left open, increasing reliability in busy medical environments
- Versatility:
- The multiple ports allow for simultaneous or sequential administration of various fluids and medications through a single access point
