Extension Sets with Injection Ports – Convenient, Closed-System Access Along the Line
No product defined
No product defined in this category.
IV extension sets with injection ports provide strategically placed access points along the tubing for intermittent medication administration, flushing, and blood sampling. Ports may be traditional injection sites or modern needle-free valves, helping reduce repeated line disconnections and minimizing the risk of contamination or needlestick injury.
These extension sets integrate seamlessly with primary IV sets, central lines, and peripheral catheters. They allow multiple therapies to be delivered through a single access while maintaining a closed system. Port placement and quantity vary by configuration, giving hospitals and infusion centers flexibility to align with their protocols and workflows.
What You Can Order in This Category
- Single-Port Extension Sets — Basic extensions with one injection or needle-free port positioned near the patient or at a convenient access point.
- Multi-Port Extensions (2–3 Ports) — Tubing with several access ports spaced along the line for piggyback medications, flushes, and blood draws.
- Extensions with Needle-Free Valves — Swabable, closed-system valves that allow syringe access without needles and support infection-prevention practices.
- Filtered Extension Sets with Ports — Combine inline filtration with one or more access sites for critical or particulate-sensitive medications.
- Specialty Port Configurations — Including Y-site ports, T-connectors, and clustered port designs for high-acuity care environments.
Technical Specifications Available
- Port types: Pre-pierced injection sites, needle-free valves, Y-site ports, bifuse or trifuse manifolds.
- Port count: From a single access site to multiple ports distributed along the extension tubing.
- Tubing bore: Microbore options for low-volume precision or standard-bore options for higher-flow infusions.
- Lengths: Short J-loop extensions through longer multi-port tubing segments suitable for ICU and OR setups.
- Materials and safety: Non-DEHP, latex-free tubing with clamps, back-check valves, and closed-system valves as applicable.
Where Extension Sets with Ports Are Used
Extension sets with injection ports are commonly used in med-surg and telemetry units, intensive care units, emergency departments, oncology and infusion centers, and long-term care settings. They are particularly valuable when patients require frequent medication boluses, routine blood draws, or repeated flushing through limited IV access points. By relocating access points away from the catheter insertion site, these sets help protect catheter hubs and streamline nursing workflows.
