IV Extension Set, Small Bore with Needle-Free Port and 7 Inch Tubing, Sterile

Yes, IV extension sets are essential for enhancing patient comfort, minimizing the risk of accidental disconnection, simplifying access for medication administration, and reducing contamination. They allow flexible placement of IV lines, especially when frequent movement or repositioning is needed.

Primary IV Sets: Standard devices for continuous IV fluid or medication delivery. Secondary (IV Piggyback) Sets: Used to administer intermittent medications via a Y-site. Extension Sets: Short lengths that extend the IV line for easier access and maneuverability. Blood Administration Sets: Designed for safe, filtered delivery of blood products.

Prime the Extension Set: Remove all air bubbles by flushing with saline before attaching to the patient. Attach to IV Catheter or Main IV Line: Use sterile technique and luer lock connections. Secure Properly: Tape or secure the set to avoid accidental removal or kinking. Monitor for Patency and Leakage: Regularly check for flow and signs of infiltration.

Extends the length of the IV tubing, facilitating patient mobility. Reduces the risk of contamination and needlestick injuries. Increases ease of medication administration and IV access.

Infection Prevention Reduced Patient Disconnection Better Patient Mobility Convenient Medication Administration

Saline Lock: An IV catheter capped and flushed with saline, allowing intermittent access. Extension Set: A length of tubing added to a catheter to extend reach and facilitate access; can be used with saline locks.

Change every 72–96 hours or as per hospital protocol to reduce infection risk.

No, never reuse IV extension sets. They are single-use, sterile devices designed to be discarded after use to prevent infection and cross-contamination.

Ensure the IV bag is elevated above heart level. Check for kinks or obstructions in tubing. Adjust the roller clamp as needed. Consult a healthcare professional for safe flow rate adjustments.

Incorrect medication dosage. Failing to properly prime the secondary tubing. Forgetting to open or close clamps. Improper height adjustment leading to backflow.

Every 72–96 hours for most continuous infusions. Change immediately if contamination or malfunction occurs.

Enhanced patient comfort and movement. Lower infection risk. Easier medication and fluid administration. Improved accessibility for healthcare providers.

Inadequate skin antisepsis. Inserting at the wrong angle. Failure to secure the catheter. Not flushing tubing to prevent clots.

Slowly flush saline through tubing before connection. Tap tubing gently to dislodge bubbles. Hold set vertically to allow air to rise and escape.

Increased infection risk if not changed per guidelines. Risk of air embolism if not properly primed. Possible kinking or disconnection.

Sterile, Latex-Free, & DEHP-Free Materials: Reduces allergic reactions and ensures patient safety. Universal Luer Lock Connectors: Compatible with all IV catheters and infusion systems. Flexible, Kink-Resistant Tubing: Maintains reliable flow. Single-Use, Individually Packaged: Guaranteed hygiene and convenience.
