Description
The Avanos 18933 is a Mini Bore IV Extension Set primarily used in pain management, anesthesiology, and infusion therapy. It acts as an intermediate line between a primary IV source (or syringe pump) and the patient's catheter.
Key Features
Mini Bore Tubing: The tubing has a very small internal diameter, which is ideal for precise, low-volume infusions. This minimizes the "dead space" or amount of medication held within the line.
Low Priming Volume: With a priming volume of only 0.25 mL, this set is designed to ensure that the patient receives the maximum amount of medication with minimal waste.
Integrated Rotator: Features a rotating connector (rotator) that allows the clinician to secure the line without twisting the tubing, reducing the risk of kinks and ensuring a stable connection to the catheter or needle.
Standard Length: The tubing is 6 inches long, providing a short but flexible extension that helps reduce tension on the primary injection site.
Sterile & Biocompatible: Gamma sterilized and individually packaged to maintain a sterile fluid path, essential for preventing infection during regional anesthesia or IV therapy.

Regional Anesthesia: Used to connect a syringe pump or manual syringe to an epidural or nerve block needle, allowing the clinician to inject medication without being directly flush against the needle.
Pediatric Infusions: Ideal for neonatal or pediatric care where extremely small and precise fluid volumes are required.
Pain Management: Frequently used in acute pain services for the continuous delivery of local anesthetics via peripheral nerve catheters.
