MANIFOLD 2 WAY

MANIFOLD - 2 WAY are specialized devices commonly used to manage fluid flow in medical applications, especially in critical care and surgical settings. These manifolds are part of infusion systems, designed to administer and control the flow of intravenous (IV) fluids, medications, or other solutions through multiple lines, helping to manage several infusion therapies simultaneously and safely.

PRODUCT DISCRIPTION

1. Design: A 2-way manifold has two ports—one for fluid entry and one for exit—allowing the control and flow of two solutions.
2. Usage: This is typically used for simple infusion therapy where only two solutions are involved, such as combining saline with one medication.
3. Application in Healthcare:

• Critical Care: For administering multiple medications or IV fluids without needing multiple IV access points, which can reduce the risk of infection.
• Emergency Care: Quick access to fluids or medications to stabilize patients.
• Monitoring: Often used for attaching pressure transducers, especially in procedures requiring close hemodynamic monitoring (e.g., blood pressure).

Benefits of Manifold

• Enhanced Control: By isolating and controlling fluid pathways, manifolds reduce the risk of drug interactions within the lines and improve dosing accuracy.
• Reduced Risk of Infection: Minimizes the need for additional IV lines, which lowers infection risks and improves patient comfort.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Manifolds consolidate IV access needs, which reduces equipment and line changes, cutting costs and improving resource utilization.
