Infusion Set

Here are the main features of an infusion set:

Essential Components:

Vented Spike: Allows the bottle or solution bag to be pierced and ensures an air inlet for a smooth flow.
Drip Chamber: Allows the flow rate of drops to be visualized and is equipped with a filter to prevent the entry of particles.
Flexible Tubing: Made of medical-grade PVC, it transports the liquid from the bottle to the patient.
Flow Regulator: Allows precise adjustment of the rate of liquid administration.
Injection Site (or Y-Port): An access point for injecting additional medication without interrupting the main infusion.
Luer Lock or Luer Slip Connector: Ensures a secure connection to the needle or catheter inserted into the patient’s vein.
Needle or Catheter: The end inserted into the vein for fluid administration.
Materials: Made from medical-grade materials, soft, non-toxic, and non-bendable PVC.
Sterilization: Sterilized with ethylene oxide to ensure patient safety.
Single Use: Designed for single use only to prevent cross-infection.
Function: Administers fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into the patient’s bloodstream intravenously.
