10/15 drops/ml Medical IV Infusion Giving Fluid Drip Set Sterile IV Administration Infusion Set
Product description
IV infusion sets are essential medical devices used for delivering fluids, medications, and blood products directly into a patient's bloodstream. Below is a detailed description of the various components of an IV infusion set:
IV Infusion Set Components:
1. Drip Chamber:
The drip chamber is located near the IV bag and allows for visual
monitoring of the flow rate of the IV solution. It helps to prevent
air bubbles from entering the patient's bloodstream.
2. Spike:
The spike is a sharp, pointed end that pierces the IV bag or
bottle, allowing the solution to flow into the tubing system.
3. Primary Tubing:
The primary tubing is the main tube that carries the IV solution
from the bag to the patient's vein. It is usually made of flexible
and transparent material for easy monitoring of the fluid flow.
4. Clamp:
The clamp is used to regulate the flow of the IV solution by either
restricting or allowing the fluid to pass through the tubing.
5. Injection Port:
The injection port is a site on the tubing where additional
medications can be added to the IV line without disrupting the
primary infusion.
6. Y-Site:
The Y-shaped connector allows for secondary IV medications or
fluids to be infused simultaneously with the primary solution.
7. Filter:
Some IV infusion sets include a filter that removes particles and
air from the IV solution before it reaches the patient, reducing
the risk of contamination.
8. Needle/Catheter:
The needle or catheter is inserted into the patient's vein to
deliver the IV solution directly into the bloodstream.
9. Wings:
The wings are used for securing the needle or catheter in place
after insertion and allow for easy handling during the procedure.
10. Tubing Length and Diameter:
IV infusion sets come in various tubing lengths and diameters to
accommodate different patient needs and types of infusion.
11. Luer Lock Connector:
The Luer lock connector ensures a secure and leak-proof connection
between the IV tubing and other devices, such as syringes or IV
catheters.
12. Extension Tubing:
Extension tubing can be attached to the IV set to increase the
length of the tubing, providing flexibility and ease of use during
infusion.
IV infusion sets are critical tools in healthcare settings for
delivering fluids and medications safely and effectively to
patients. Understanding the various components of an IV infusion
set is essential for healthcare professionals to ensure proper
administration and patient care.
