Description

Overview of the medicine

This product combines a standard intravenous infusion set with a scalp vein set (butterfly needle) and a Y-connector (injection port). It is designed for the safe and efficient administration of intravenous fluids, medications, or blood products, particularly useful for patients with fragile veins, pediatric patients, or for short-term infusions where a secure, easily manageable access point is needed. The Y-connector allows for intermittent medication injection without disrupting the primary infusion.

Uses & Indications

Intravenous administration of fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients

Delivery of intravenous medications (continuous or intermittent)

Infusion of blood and blood components

Short-term intravenous access, especially in pediatric or geriatric patients, or those with fragile veins

Repeated blood sampling (using the scalp vein set component)

Dosage

Adults

Used as per clinical need, fluid/medication volume, and infusion rate prescribed by a physician

Elderly

Used as per clinical need, fluid/medication volume, and infusion rate prescribed by a physician, considering vein fragility

Renal_impairment

Used as per clinical need, fluid/medication volume, and infusion rate prescribed by a physician

How to Take

Administered by a trained medical professional using aseptic technique. The scalp vein set is used to access a peripheral vein, then secured. The infusion set is connected to the IV bag and the scalp vein set. The Y-connector allows for direct injection of additional medications.

Mechanism of Action

The infusion set provides a sterile pathway for fluids to flow from an IV bag to the patient's bloodstream. The scalp vein set offers precise and stable venipuncture with its small gauge needle and flexible wings, minimizing trauma. The Y-connector serves as an additional port for injecting supplementary medications directly into the IV line without needing a new puncture.
