Photosensitive Closed Systems for Oncology
Chemotherapy infusion systems are specialized medical devices designed to help deliver chemotherapeutic agents to patients safely and effectively. Because chemotherapy drugs can be highly potent and potentially hazardous, these sets have specific features to ensure both patient safety and the protection of healthcare workers.
Designed for Consistent Performance:
• Closed-System Transfer Devices (CSTDs): Prevents the escape of hazardous drugs, reducing the risk of exposure to healthcare staff and the environment.
• Needle-Free Design: Enhances safety by eliminating needle exposure, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries during preparation and administration.
• Soft, Flexible Tubing: Designed to minimize discomfort during treatment and allow for greater movement.
• Low-Profile Catheters and Holders: Reduces skin irritation and provides a secure, comfortable fit for smaller bodies.
• Chemical-Resistant Tubing and Components: Made from materials that do not degrade when in contact with chemotherapeutic agents, ensuring long-term stability and safety.
• Latex-Free Construction: Suitable for patients with latex allergies and ensures broader compatibility with various patient needs.
• Luer Lock Connectors: Provide a secure, tight fit that prevents accidental disconnections and leaks, ensuring safe administration of chemotherapy drugs.
• Sealed Valve Systems: Help prevent drug leakage during and after infusion, protecting both patients and caregivers from exposure.
• Adjustable Flow Regulators: Allows healthcare professionals to set and maintain the correct flow rate for accurate dosing, critical for chemotherapy treatments.
• Integrated Drip Chambers: Ensure precise control over the infusion rate and enable visual monitoring.
• Multiple Ports: Enable simultaneous administration of different fluids or medications through a single line, enhancing treatment flexibility.
• Y-Site Connectors: Allow for additional medications or flushing without disrupting the primary infusion line.
• One-Way Valves: Prevent the backflow of medication, maintaining the direction of the infusion and reducing the risk of contamination or incorrect dosing.
