Caresite Micro Volume Extension Set

Caresite Micro Volume Extension Set are additionally used to extend infusion lines by attaching them to a luer lock connection.

Flexible needle-free extension lines allow manipulation away from the injection site and help to reduce vascular access complications. They simplify an aseptic technique during the change of IV administration sets. This benefits patients as well as healthcare workers.

The tubing with small internal diameter minimizes the contained volume and benefits the usage for pediatric/neonate patients.

Features & Benefits:

High pressure resistance

Dedicated Caresite Micro Volume Extension Sets may be used with power injectors.
Single Extension Set may be used with power injectors at a maximum pressure setting of 325 psi and a maximum flow rate of 10 ml/sec.
Double Extension Set may be used with power injectors at a maximum pressure setting of 300 psi and a maximum flow rate of 10 ml/sec.
Remaining Extension Sets are pressure resistant up to 2.0 bar and intended to be used for gravity and pressure infusions.

Extension Sets

Extension Sets allow manipulation away from the insertion site and thus reduce vascular access complications such as mechanical phlebitis.
Extension Sets help to reduce catheter movement.
Extension Sets help to ensure aseptic technique when changing administration sets.
Extension Sets can be looped to relieve tension and is secured with tape independent of catheter tape, thus preventing dislodgement of the catheter by an accidental pull on the tubing.

Non-removable slide clamp

Prevents the unintended removal by patients and reduce the risk that patients swallow the clamps (e.g. small children on pediatric wards). All Caresite Micro Volume Extension Sets have a non-removable slide clamp.
