IV Extension Set TrueCare Needle-Free Port Mini Bore 7 Inch Tubing Without Filter Sterile, 50/Box

$64.95

Description

Needle-Free Port: The set includes a Luer-activated, self-sealing port. This is a critical safety feature that allows for the injection or aspiration of fluids without the use of needles, significantly reducing the risk of accidental needlestick injuries to healthcare professionals.
Mini Bore Tubing: The tubing has a small internal diameter ("mini" or "microbore"). This design minimizes the priming volume—the amount of fluid required to fill the set. This is crucial for reducing medication waste and for patient populations (like pediatrics and geriatrics) where precise fluid management is essential.
7-Inch Length: This short length is ideal for adding an access port close to the patient's IV catheter site without adding excessive tubing that could get tangled or increase dead space in the line.
DEHP-Free & Latex-Free: The materials used are free from DEHP (a plasticizer that can be a health concern with certain medications and patients) and natural rubber latex, ensuring safety for patients with latex allergies.
Sterile and Single-Use: The product is supplied sterile and is intended for single-patient use to prevent cross-contamination and healthcare-associated infections.
Luer Lock Connectors: It features standard rotating male Luer lock and female Luer connectors, ensuring secure, leak-proof connections to IV catheters, primary IV lines, and syringes.

Adding a Needle-Free Access Point: Its main purpose is to add a safe and convenient needle-free injection port to an existing IV line, especially when the primary tubing lacks a port or when one is needed closer to the patient.
Intermittent Medication Administration: It is commonly used for administering intermittent IV "push" medications with a syringe or for connecting a secondary "piggyback" (IVPB) line.
Reducing Catheter Manipulation: By providing an access point slightly away from the indwelling IV catheter hub, it helps reduce movement and potential irritation at the insertion site during medication administration.
Enhancing Clinician Safety: The needle-free design is a key component of hospital safety initiatives aimed at protecting nurses and other healthcare workers from exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
Use in Fluid-Sensitive Patients: Due to its low priming volume, this type of extension set is particularly valuable in neonatal, pediatric, and critical care settings where precise, small-volume medication delivery is critical.
