Infusioonikottide

Infusioonikottide, also known as infusion bags or IV bags, are sterile medical devices used for administering fluids, medications, or nutrients directly into a patient's bloodstream, subcutaneous tissue, or other body cavities. These bags are typically made of flexible plastic materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polypropylene, chosen for their inertness, flexibility, and ability to be sterilized.

The primary function of an infusioonikott is to contain and deliver a specific volume of sterile liquid. They are designed to be connected to an intravenous (IV) administration set, which includes tubing and a needle or catheter that is inserted into the patient's body. The flow rate of the fluid is controlled either by gravity, by adjusting a roller clamp on the tubing, or by using an electronic infusion pump for precise administration.

Infusioonikottide come in various sizes, ranging from small bags containing a few milliliters to large bags holding over a liter. They are used in a wide range of medical settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home healthcare, for purposes such as hydration, electrolyte replacement, pain management, chemotherapy, and nutritional support. Sterility is paramount to prevent infections, and the bags are manufactured under strict quality control standards to ensure their integrity and safety. The design often includes a port for aseptic connection and a hanger or loop for suspension.
