Key Features

  • Tubing Compatibility (Nozzle Function): It is specifically designed to fit small-bore medical tubing, accommodating any size from 3 mm to 6 mm (or $1/8^{\prime\prime}$ to $1/4^{\prime\prime}$) internal diameter in seven size increments.

  • Material and Clarity: Made from tough, shatterproof polypropylene. The translucent material allows for visual monitoring of fluids passing through the connection.

  • Dual Functionality: It serves as both a:

    • Straight Connector/Reducer: Can connect two tubes of $1/4^{\prime\prime}$ (6 mm) diameter or function as a reducer (e.g., connecting a $1/4^{\prime\prime}$ tube to a $1/8^{\prime\prime}$ tube).

    • Irrigation Nozzle: The tapered tip side is designed to increase outgoing fluid pressure when used for irrigation.

  • Sterility: The Catalog No. 502 is supplied sterile and individually packaged to maintain hygiene. A "Clean" (non-sterile) version, Catalog No. 512, is also available.

  • Latex-Free: Manufactured using latex-free materials.

  • Convenient Packaging: Typically packaged in a convenient dispenser box for easy access in clinical settings.

Primary Uses

The Busse 502 is essential for procedures requiring fine control over fluid delivery or connection of small tubing:

  • Irrigation Procedures: The primary use is as an Irrigation Nozzle to deliver fluids (like saline or antibiotic solutions) for wound cleansing, surgical site preparation, or other irrigation needs, where the tapered tip helps provide directional pressure.

  • Suction and Drainage: Used in various suction circuits and drainage systems to connect, extend, or adapt smaller suction tubing.

  • Anesthesia and Respiratory: Can be used in components of respiratory therapy and anesthesia circuits that utilize small-diameter tubing.

  • General Small-Bore Tubing Connection: Functions as a reliable, secure, and leak-resistant connector for small plastic tubing in operating rooms, emergency departments, and patient care areas.
