Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of an IV extension set?
▼
An IV extension set connects the patient’s IV cannula to the infusion line or pump, giving extra length and flexibility during treatment. It helps reduce the need to access the cannula directly, improving safety and comfort for both patients and clinicians.
What types of IV extension lines do you stock?
▼
UKMEDI offers a wide selection, including single and multi-lumen IV extension lines, Y-connectors, and microbore or standard bore options. Many include features such as anti-reflux valves or needle-free ports, designed for compatibility with most infusion systems.
Can your IV extension sets be used with long line cannulas?
▼
Yes. Our IV extension sets are compatible with long line cannulas and standard IV systems, provided the connection type matches (Luer Lock or Luer Slip). Always check the product details to ensure a secure fit for your clinical setup.
