      Caresite® Extension Set
      Extension set for infusion lines

      The extension sets with Caresite® valve 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 reduce Vascular Access complications. This ensures treatment patient by infusion, transfusion, aspiration of blood samples and intermittent injection. Moreover, it simplifies 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 paediatric/neonate patients.
