Vygon Single Lumen Bionector Octopus Extension | 10cm | Pack of 50

Needle free extension set, including single lumen bionector octopus extension with 10cm tube and clamp PUR.

Bionector Octopus extension sets: To support the MHRA Alert MDA/2010/073, Vygon offers a wide range of multi-lumen extension sets with integrated anti-reflux valves (ARVs). These prevent the inadvertent backtracking and subsequent risk of drug overdose when running multiple infusions at different rates.

Drug loss prevention: The Bionector Octopus range is produced with biocompatible PUR tubing to help prevent the risk of drug loss which can occur with PVC tubing.(8) Central lines and syringe drivers do not contain PVC within the fluid pathway, with Bionector you can be assured you’re not putting PVC into the patient’s IV circuit. Issues with PVC drug interactions are supported by Bionector’s drug compatibility studies (Study Six).

No common dead space: Multi-lumen Octopus extension sets maintain separate fluid pathways right up to the catheter hub, preventing the mixing of incompatible drugs within the extension set.

Reduced catheter manipulation: The range is equipped with a freely rotating male luer-locking collar to enable easier connection to the IV catheter’s female luer, helping reduce mechanical phlebitis and associated complications.

Polyurethane, transparent, flexible extension tube for IV catheters (mainly peripheral IV catheters) with Bionector and flat clamp.
