What Are the Characteristics of Infusion Sets of Different Materials?

Intravenous infusion is a commonly used method of administration in clinical treatment, and its quality has a direct relationship with the treatment of diseases. Disposable infusion sets are commonly used consumables in intravenous infusion therapy.

Since the disposable infusion set is in direct contact with the drug, the adsorption of the drug by its material has increasingly become a focus of attention. Clinical nurses understand the characteristics of disposable infusion set materials and commonly used drugs that are easily absorbed by different materials, which is conducive to ensuring the effectiveness and safety of the clinical medication. Therefore, the following makes a specific analysis of the characteristics of infusion sets of different materials.

Its main material is PVC and plasticizer dioctyl phthalate (DEHP). DEHP can accumulate in tissues, blood, and body fluids and cause liver toxicity, reproductive toxicity, etc. As an endogenous interference factor, DEHP also has carcinogens.

PVC infusion sets have the advantages of high strength, softness, transparency, and low price. They have the longest use time and the widest range. Some small and medium-sized hospitals still use PVC infusion sets, but there are some safety hazards when using PVC infusion sets. PVC material has strong adsorption to some alcohol-soluble and fat-soluble drugs, which makes prescription drugs inaccurate and affects the therapeutic effect. BQ+ can provide users with PVC-free infusion sets to ensure the safety of infusion.

As a new substitute for PVC material, the main components of the TPE infusion set are ultra-low density polyethylene polyolefin and thermoplastic elastomer. The TPE infusion set has saturated double bonds, does not contain polar groups and ester plasticizers, is safe and non-toxic to the human body, has no adsorption to drugs, and can ensure the efficacy of drugs.

This is an infusion set with a double-layer filter medium structure, which has strong dirt holding capacity, high filtration accuracy, and low drug adsorption rate, which can effectively prevent the damage of particles to the human body, reduce the stimulation of blood vessels by drug products, and improve the infusion liquid. It can reduce the pain at the puncture site, extravasation, vasospasm caused by the stimulation of the vascular wall, and avoid the interruption of the infusion.

Infusion sets made of this type of material are rare in clinical applications. They are mainly used for the production of infusion bottles, infusion bags, and syringes. They are relatively safe materials, but they also have a certain adsorption effect on certain drugs.
