IV Extension sets. Intravenous Accessories Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring Sets and Accessories.

An IV extension set is a single-use medical device consisting of tubing and connectors in various lengths. It is designed to extend the reach of a standard intravenous (IV) administration set when the original tubing length is insufficient for clinical needs.

These extension sets may be configured as single-lumen or multi-lumen and can include optional adjuncts such as stopcocks, anti-siphon valves, and back-check valves to support safe and efficient drug delivery. Some models are compatible with NRFit connectors for enhanced safety in neuraxial and regional anaesthesia applications.

TIVA IV extension sets are commonly used in Total Intravenous Anaesthesia (TIVA) procedures, allowing for the simultaneous administration of multiple anaesthetic agents while maintaining drug separation and minimizing the risk of cross-contamination. A collection of devices that includes the necessary tubing and other items, e.g., connectors, stopcock(s), clamps, filters, and monitor cables, used as an external connection for invasive blood pressure measurement.

This set will interface, either directly or from an intermediate stopcock, between the applied invasive catheter and the measuring transducer, and then connect via monitor cables to the patient monitor. It will have physical characteristics appropriate for preserving, to the extent possible, the waveform and fidelity of the measured pressure.
