Safeflow Extension Set
Smallbore extension set for infusion lines

Safeflow Extension Sets are used to extend infusion lines by attaching them to a luer lock connection.

The extension sets allow manipulation away from injection site, which ensures

treatment of patient by infusion, aspiration and intermittent injection without the use of needles.

Moreover, extension sets help to ensure 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 pediatric/neonate patients.
