Vanliga frågor om mediplast
Why a PVC-free infusion set?
Some medications bind to the plasticisers in PVC tubing, so part of the dose stays in the set instead of reaching the patient. A PVC-free set avoids this. Check the medication's own product information for which ones are affected.
When is venting needed on the set?
The vent lets air in so fluid can flow out of a container that does not collapse, such as a glass bottle or a rigid plastic bottle. If fluid is given from a soft bag that collapses on its own, no venting is needed.
What is the three-way stopcock used for?
The stopcock sits on the set and allows an injection to be given into the infusion, or the flow to be shut off temporarily, without disconnecting the tubing. That reduces the number of disconnections and therefore the occasions on which the system is opened.
