Disposable 20/60Drops Light Proof IV Infusion Set With Needle

Disposable 20/60Drops Light Proof IV Infusion Set With Needle

In modern clinical intravenous therapy, many highly effective medications—such as anti-tumor chemotherapeutic agents, sodium nitroprusside, dopamine, fat-soluble vitamins, and certain antibiotics—are extremely sensitive to light. Exposure to strong ambient light or ultraviolet (UV) rays can easily trigger photodegradation, oxidation, or discoloration, which not only compromises efficacy but may also generate toxic side effects. The Disposable 20/60Drops Light Proof IV Infusion Set With Needle is a premium medical consumable specifically developed to address these critical clinical challenges. By integrating high-efficiency physical light-shielding technology with a precision drip control system, this infusion set ensures full-process, end-to-end protection for photosensitive fluids from the IV bottle directly into the patient's vein.

Product Advantages

• All-Aspect Photoprotection: The infusion tubing, drip chamber, and connectors are uniformly infused with top-tier, light-blocking agents. This design effectively blocks destructive UV rays and short-wave visible light, strictly complying with international medical standards for light-shielding efficacy.

• Dual Drip Rate Options (20/60 Drops):

  • 20 Drops/ml (Standard Drip Chamber): Ideal for routine adult fluid resuscitation and large-dose or rapid-velocity administrations.

  • 60 Drops/ml (Micro Drip Chamber): Engineered for the ultra-precise control of micro-dose or high-alert medications, making it a staple in pediatrics, neonatal care, and intensive care units (ICU).

• Outstanding Physical & Chemical Safety: Constructed from highly flexible, medical-grade materials that resist kinking and twisting, ensuring uninterrupted fluid flow. The inner lining exhibits excellent chemical inertness and will not adsorb active pharmaceutical ingredients.

• Precision Fluid Filtration: Features a built-in terminal fluid filter that efficiently traps microparticles, crystals, and potential bacterial contaminants, significantly reducing the risk of infusion-related phlebitis.

• Sterile & Ready to Use: Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO) and packaged individually in medical-grade blister sleeves. Paired with a high-sharpness, low stainless steel IV needle for seamless clinical deployment.

Material Distinctions: Light-Proof PVC vs. Light-Proof Non-PVC (TPE/TPU)

When sourcing light-resistant infusion sets, selecting the appropriate tubing material is vital for clinical compatibility:

1. Light-Proof Medical PVC: Offers exceptional flexibility, clarity (for checking flow), and unmatched cost-efficiency. It is ideal for administering standard light-sensitive such as everyday vitamins and antibiotics. However, because it contains DEHP plasticizers, it is not recommended for highly lipid-soluble like lipid emulsions or nitroglycerin.

2. Light-Proof Non-PVC (TPE/TPU): 100% DEHP-free and completely non-adsorbent to active ingredients. This represents the "gold standard" for delivering high-risk, lipid-soluble medications such as paclitaxel, nitroglycerin, and total parenteral nutrition (TPN), making it essential for premium and intensive care therapies.

Primary Applications & Target Audience

• Oncology & Chemotherapy Centers: Perfect for administering light-sensitive anti-cancer therapies (e.g., Cisplatin, Fluorouracil) to oncology patients.

• Cardiology & ICU: Vital for critical care patients requiring strict, micro-controlled infusions of potent cardiovascular agents like sodium nitroprusside and dopamine via the 60-drop micro chamber.

• Pediatrics & NICU: Exclusively utilizes the 60 Drops/ml configuration to safely administer micro-volume nutrients, vitamins, and antibiotics to infants and young children.

• Operating Rooms & General Wards: Widely deployed for surgical recovery or post-operative patients receiving photosensitive antibiotics or Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

      Q1: Given the dark color (amber/brown) of the tubing, how can medical staff inspect for air bubbles or see if the fluid has run out?

A: The material undergoes specialized optical fine-tuning. While it successfully blocks harmful, destructive wavelengths, it retains optimal translucency under standard indoor fluorescent lighting. Nurses can easily monitor fluid movement, identify bubbles, and verify fluid levels against ambient background light.

Q2: What is the main clinical difference when choosing between a 20 Drops and a 60 Drops set?

A: The primary difference lies in flow rate precision. The 20-drop set delivers 1ml over 20 drops, facilitating faster fluid replacement for standard adult procedures. Conversely, the 60-drop set breaks 1ml into 60 micro-drops, allowing for highly meticulous velocity adjustments essential for pediatric or critically ill patients where fluid overload must be strictly prevented.
