Types of Infusion Sets
1.Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Infusion Set: Made mainly of PVC, it features high strength, flexibility, good transparency, easy sealing, and resistance to disinfection. It has a relatively low cost. However, it may adsorb certain medications, and plasticizers in it may leach out, potentially causing toxicity.
2.Polyolefin Thermoplastic Elastomer Infusion Set: Utilizes polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer materials. It doesn't release harmful plasticizers, has no problem of drug adsorption, and has good chemical stability, making it suitable for various infusion treatments.
3.Light-Resistant Infusion Set: It has a special structure that can prevent the photochemical degradation or damage of photosensitive drugs in the internal liquid. It is applicable for infusing photosensitive drugs such as paclitaxel and cisplatin.
4.Precision Filter Infusion Set: Equipped with a precision filter, it can filter out the particles in the infusion, reduce the harm of particles to the human body, and lower the risk of adverse reactions during infusion.
5.Multi-needle Infusion Set: It belongs to the multi-branch steel needle infusion set and can serve as a delivery channel for drugs like immunoglobulin, and is capable of delivering a large amount of immunoglobulin in a short time.
6.Self-venting Infusion Set: An exhaust pipe is installed in the drip chamber, which can automatically discharge the air in the infusion, ensuring the safety of the infusion and reducing the operation time for medical staff.
7.Micro-adjustable Infusion Set: It can better control the infusion flow rate, providing a flow rate of 60 drops per milliliter to avoid excessive infusion volume. It is often used in situations where precise control of the infusion volume is required.
8.Luer Lock Infusion Set: With a luer lock design, it can prevent the accidental detachment of the intravenous needle or catheter, ensuring the firmness of the infusion connection.
9.Insulin Pump Extension Infusion Set: For example, the Medtronic extension infusion set can be used for up to 7 days, with improved convenience and comfort. It can deliver insulin from the insulin pump into the body.
Accessories of Infusion Sets
1.Luer Connector: It is used to connect various components of the infusion set and also to connect with other medical devices such as syringes, needles, and catheters, ensuring a tight and sealed connection.
2.Extension Tube: It can increase the length of the infusion set, facilitating the operation of medical staff and the movement of patients, making the infusion position more flexible.
3.Winged Flap of the Needle: It is convenient for medical staff to hold and fix the infusion needle, playing an auxiliary role during puncture and improving the accuracy and stability of puncture.
4.Safety Shield: After the infusion needle is used, it can cover the needle to prevent needle stick injuries, protecting the safety of medical staff and patients.
5.Thumb Clip: It is used to assist in controlling the puncture angle and force of the infusion needle, making the puncture operation more precise.
6.Connector Cap: It is used to protect the connector of the infusion set, prevent contamination, and keep the connector clean, acting as a sealing function when not in use.
7.Flow Regulator: Usually in the form of a roller type or a clip type, it can be manually adjusted to control the infusion speed to meet the needs of different patients and treatments.
8.Solution Filter: It can filter out impurities, particles, etc. in the infusion, ensuring the purity of the liquid infused into the patient's body and reducing adverse reactions.
9.Air Filter: Installed near the bottle spike, it is used to filter the air entering the infusion bottle, preventing dust, bacteria, etc. in the air from entering the infusion system.
10.Heparin Cap: It can be used to connect the infusion set and the indwelling needle. Through the heparin cap, drugs such as heparin can be injected into the blood vessel to prevent blood coagulation and maintain the patency of the vascular access.
11.Three-way Stopcock: It can achieve the function of one-way input and two-way output or multi-way input and output, facilitating the simultaneous infusion of multiple drugs or other operations during the infusion process.
