IV solution administration set
Description
The Gravity Solution Administration Set (Single) is a sterile, single-use IV solution administration set branded by 3S Healthcare and manufactured by Baxter Healthcare. It is designed for gravity or pump-assisted infusion of IV fluids and solutions. The set includes a vented/non-vented drip chamber with a 15 µm disc filter, an adjustable roller clamp to control flow rate, a needle Y-site for secondary access, and a click/rotary luer connector with Safeprime cap for secure connection to IV cannulas or extension sets. Supplied as an individually wrapped disposable giving set for use in clinical and emergency care environments.
Bnefits
- Provides a complete sterile giving set for gravity solution administration.
- 15 µm in-line filter helps reduce particulate contamination in the infused solution.
- Roller clamp enables manual adjustment of infusion flow rate.
- Needle Y-site allows convenient access for secondary injections or piggyback infusions.
- Click/rotary luer connector with Safeprime cap offers secure, leak-resistant connection and priming.
- Vented / non-vented drip chamber design allows use with a range of fluid containers as appropriate.
