I.V infusion Set

An I.V (intravenous) infusion set is a medical device that is used to deliver fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into a patient’s bloodstream through an intravenous (I.V) line. It consists of a long, thin tube (known as an I.V catheter) that is inserted into a vein, and a small bag or bottle of fluid that is connected to the tube via a small tube and a needle.

To use an I.V infusion set, a healthcare provider will sterilize the patient’s skin and insert the I.V catheter into a vein using aseptic technique. The fluid bag or bottle is then hung on a stand or pole, and the small tube is connected to the I.V catheter using a needle. The fluid flows from the bag or bottle, through the small tube, and into the patient’s bloodstream via the I.V catheter.

I.V infusion sets are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings to deliver a wide range of fluids and medications, including saline solutions, electrolytes, antibiotics, and pain medications. They are particularly useful for administering fluids and medications that need to be delivered quickly or in large quantities.

Overall, I.V infusion sets are a vital tool for delivering essential fluids and medications to patients, and are an important part of the medical profession. They allow for precise delivery of medications and fluids, and are an essential component of many medical treatments and procedures.
