- Sterile, single-use standard bore IV extension set designed to provide an uninterrupted and secure fluid path when extending an existing IV line
Uses
- Extending IV Lines:
- The primary use is to add length to an existing primary IV administration set, increasing flexibility for patient movement and equipment placement
- Critical Care and Long-term Infusions:
- It is particularly suitable for critical care or long-term IV administration scenarios where a dedicated, continuous line is preferred to minimize the risk of contamination associated with extra access points
- Controlled Fluid Management:
- Used in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and emergency care for general, reliable, and consistent fluid flow
Features
- No Injection Site:
- The absence of any injection ports makes it a preferred choice for sterile environments by eliminating potential contamination entry points
- Standard Bore Tubing:
- The tubing provides consistent and reliable fluid flow suitable for a wide range of standard IV applications
- Secure Connections:
- Features a female Luer lock connector on one end and a distal male Spin-Lock® connector on the other. The Spin-Lock connector is designed to prevent dislodgment of the IV catheter and provides a secure, locking connection
- Material Safety:
- The components are not made with DEHP or natural rubber latex, making it safe for patients with sensitivities to these materials. It does contain BPA/PVC
- Specifications:
- Tubing Length:
- 6 inches (15.2 cm) or 7 inches (18 cm) depending on the exact variant, offering a compact extension solution
- Priming Volume:
- A minimal 1.0 mL or 1.9 mL, which helps reduce medication waste
- Flow Control:
- Includes a slide clamp for flow regulation
- Sterility:
- Each set is sterile and intended for single use
Benefits
- Minimized Contamination Risk:
- The primary benefit is a reduced risk of contamination compared to sets with multiple injection ports, ensuring an aseptic technique for continuous IV therapy
- Enhanced Safety:
- The DEHP and latex-free design enhances patient safety by minimizing exposure to potentially harmful chemicals and allergens
- Reliability:
- The secure Spin-Lock connector helps prevent accidental disconnections, ensuring a more reliable infusion process
- Workflow Efficiency:
- The simple, straightforward design is easy to set up and use, contributing to efficient clinical workflows without the need for managing extra ports or complex component
