Systems for infusion therapy

The infusion system is a medical device designed to influence infusion solutions, one of the most commonly used in the medical practice of products.

Content:

Intravenous injections imply a direct injection of drugs into the patient's blood, and in the case of the infusion system, there is also a long time of finding the needle in the patient's vein, so the quality of the materials used in production, as well as the availability and quality of the required filters, must be given great importance when choosing a system. .

A large selection of infusion systems with different characteristics and features leads to the fact that it becomes difficult to choose the most appropriate option, and really useful development and implementation remain unnoticed and unused in practice.

What is the system

The design of any infusion system includes:

• transparent tube;
• Drip reservoir with filter;
• spike for connecting to the container;
• Flow speed controller.

The drip reservoir of the infusion system is the following types:

Soft – kind of flask or drip reservoir is most often found in budget versions of the infusion system. For a patient, this does not bear any advantages or minuses, but by changing the technology of production, the cost of infusion systems with such a type of drip reservoir is lower, which allows hospitals with a low level of financing to ensure their needs.

Semi-rigid – the most common and most common type of drip reservoir. The semi-rigid tank, as a rule, has a built-in liquid filter and an air valve. Spike for connecting the infusion system to the flask is equipped with an air valve and air filter and there are two types:

plastic;
• metal

Types of flow speed regulators:

Roller regulator – a regulator used in most systems to inflate infusion solutions. It allows you to reduce or increase the rate of administration of medicines.

Drum type regulator is a flow rate controller that has one or more scales that allow you to most accurately set the required flow rate.

Types of additional ports:

The latex port is a rubber section in front of the needle on the infusion system tube. The latex port is intended for poding additional injections using a syringe with a needle at the time of the introduction of the main drug through the infusion system.

Y-port – is a branch of the main tube of the infusion system with a latex or latex-free tip for the introduction of additional injections. The system may have in its design a put on needle with a Luer connection type, or not have a needle: in this case, the tube ends with a tip with a Luer or Luer-lock connection type and a plug. The needle for such systems is selected separately.
