burette infusion set
A burette infusion set is a precision medical device designed for controlled and accurate fluid administration in healthcare settings. This specialized equipment combines the accuracy of a burette chamber with traditional infusion set functionality, enabling healthcare providers to deliver exact volumes of medication or fluids to patients. The system typically consists of a calibrated burette chamber, drip chamber, roller clamp, and administration tubing. The burette chamber, usually graduated in milliliters, allows for precise measurement of fluid volumes, making it particularly valuable for pediatric care and situations requiring strict fluid control. The device incorporates advanced features such as an air-inlet filter that maintains sterility while ensuring smooth fluid flow, and a floating shut-off valve that prevents air from entering the administration line when the chamber empties. The micro-drip chamber facilitates precise flow rate control, typically delivering 60 drops per milliliter for enhanced accuracy. Modern burette infusion sets often include needle-free injection ports for additional medication administration and safety features to prevent backflow and contamination.
