Narrow-bore PVC IV extension line, microbore, male/female luer lock
Description
Narrow Bore Extension Set 76cm (EMC0062M) is a sterile IV extension line from Baxter Healthcare, supplied in the UK by Medisave and other medical distributors. The set consists of a narrow-bore PVC extension line with a microbore female luer and slide clamp at one end, and a rotary male luer connector with hydrophobic cap at the other end. It is designed to extend existing IV lines while maintaining secure male/female luer lock connections, helping clinicians to position infusion lines conveniently without compromising flow control. The line has a length of 76 cm, with a priming volume of approximately 1.0 ml (often described in catalogues as 80 cm priming 1.0 ml), and is intended for single-use sterile IV administration in hospital, clinical and outpatient settings.
Bnefits
- Provides an additional 76 cm of narrow-bore extension to existing IV sets, aiding line positioning and patient mobility.
- Male/female luer lock configuration allows secure connection to standard IV sets, catheters and devices.
- Microbore PVC extension line helps limit priming volume (approximately 1.0 ml), which can be beneficial for precise medication delivery and fluid management.
- Integrated slide clamp on the female luer side allows quick flow control and temporary line closure.
- Rotary male luer with hydrophobic cap supports easy, low-torque connection and helps protect the connector when not in use.
- Supplied sterile and intended for single use, supporting infection prevention and control standards.
- Compatible with a wide range of IV therapies across acute, community, and outpatient care, including infusion of fluids and medications.
Indications
- Use as an IV extension line to increase the distance between the patient access site and the primary infusion set or pump.
- Facilitating convenient positioning of infusion pumps or administration sets relative to the patient, including on beds, trolleys or stands.
- Applications in general medical, surgical, critical care, emergency, and outpatient infusion settings where a narrow-bore extension is required.
- Use in aesthetic and wellness clinics as part of IV therapy setups, where appropriate and compliant with local regulations.
