An infusion set is an essential medical device used to deliver fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into the bloodstream through intravenous (IV) therapy. It is commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and home care settings for patients requiring controlled fluid administration.
An infusion set typically includes a sterile spike for inserting into fluid bottles or IV bags, a flexible transparent tube to carry the fluid, a drip chamber to monitor flow rate, a roller clamp for adjusting the speed of infusion, and a connector with a needle or cannula for patient access. Some advanced infusion sets also come with air vents, filters, or injection ports for added safety and convenience.
