IV Extension Set Macro Bore - Bifurcated, Sterile, Luer Lock, Back Check Valve, DEHP-Free

Professional IV Extension Set - Safe, Sterile Line Extension for Intravenous Therapy

Enhance the safety and flexibility of intravenous therapy with this professional-grade IV extension set, expertly engineered to extend IV lines without compromising sterility or introducing contamination risk. This medical-grade device connects seamlessly to IV catheters to increase the distance between patients and fluid administration equipment, providing healthcare professionals with greater flexibility during treatment while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety.

Essential Function & Clinical Purpose

Safe IV Line Extension: An intravenous (IV) extension set is a critical medical device designed to extend IV lines safely and effectively without the risk of contamination. By linking directly to an IV catheter, this extension set increases the working distance between the patient and the fluid being administered, providing healthcare providers with enhanced maneuverability during procedures, patient repositioning, and extended therapy sessions.

Contamination Prevention: The sterile, closed-system design ensures that IV line extensions can be performed without introducing pathogens or contaminants into the fluid pathway. This critical safety feature protects patients from healthcare-associated infections and maintains the integrity of intravenous therapy, particularly important for immunocompromised patients or those receiving long-term IV treatments.

Enhanced Clinical Flexibility: The extended reach provided by this IV extension set allows patients greater freedom of movement during therapy, reduces tension on catheter insertion sites, and enables healthcare providers to position IV equipment more conveniently. This flexibility improves patient comfort, reduces the risk of accidental catheter dislodgement, and facilitates better care delivery in various clinical settings.

Advanced Design Features

Macro Bore Construction: The macro bore design provides optimal flow rates for standard IV fluid administration, medication delivery, and blood product transfusions. The larger internal diameter ensures efficient fluid delivery without excessive pressure buildup, supporting a wide range of clinical applications from routine hydration to emergency resuscitation protocols.

Bifurcated Configuration: The bifurcated (Y-shaped) design creates two separate fluid pathways from a single connection point, enabling simultaneous administration of multiple IV solutions or medications without the need for additional access sites. This versatile configuration is particularly valuable when patients require concurrent therapies, such as maintenance fluids with intermittent medication administration, reducing the number of venipunctures and improving patient comfort.

Back Check Valve Technology: The integrated back check valve prevents backflow of fluids, protecting against contamination and ensuring unidirectional flow through the IV system. This critical safety feature prevents mixing of incompatible medications, reduces the risk of air embolism, and maintains the integrity of each fluid pathway. The reliable valve mechanism operates automatically, requiring no additional steps from healthcare providers while delivering consistent protection.

Superior Connection System

Male/2 Female Luer Lock Connectors: The precision-engineered Luer lock connection system features one male connector and two female connectors, providing secure, leak-resistant connections that won't accidentally disconnect during patient movement or care activities. The threaded Luer lock design creates a positive mechanical connection that's significantly more secure than slip-tip alternatives, essential for maintaining system integrity during critical therapies.

Universal Compatibility: The standard Luer lock connectors ensure compatibility with virtually all IV catheters, administration sets, syringes, and infusion devices used in modern healthcare. This universal compatibility eliminates concerns about equipment matching and allows seamless integration into existing IV therapy protocols and systems.

Patient Safety & Material Quality

DEHP-Free Construction: Manufactured completely free of DEHP (Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate), a plasticizer that has raised health concerns, particularly for vulnerable patient populations including neonates, pregnant women, and patients receiving long-term IV therapy. The DEHP-free formulation eliminates exposure risks while maintaining the flexibility, durability, and performance characteristics required for reliable IV therapy delivery.

Sterile & Ready to Use: Each IV extension set arrives sterile and individually packaged, ready for immediate clinical use. The sterile packaging maintains product integrity until the moment of use, supporting strict infection control protocols and ensuring patient safety. The ready-to-use design eliminates time-consuming preparation steps, allowing healthcare providers to respond quickly to patient needs.

Medical-Grade Materials: Constructed from high-quality, biocompatible medical-grade materials that meet rigorous safety and performance standards. The materials are carefully selected for their chemical resistance, flexibility, and compatibility with a wide range of IV medications and solutions, ensuring reliable performance across diverse clinical applications.
