Octopus 3 with Bionector is a polyurethane, transparent, supple multi-lumen extension tube for IV catheters (peripheral or central venous).
Octopus 5 code 842.514 is a 5-lumen extension tube with a clamp on each lumen, 5 Bionector and 4 non-return valves. The extension tube without non-return valve (with blue clamp) allows blood sampling.
Length of tubes: 6cm / 6cm / 6cm / 6cm / 6cm / 6cm
Used for central venous catheter care, Octopus 3 has the following advantages:
– Provides closed, neelde-free access during syringe bolus dose administration and I.V. tubing change
– Eliminates the need to use a 3-way tap to run 2 or more simultaneous compatible solutions
– Eliminates the risk of blood spillage
– Eliminates the risk of air embolism
– PUR material (no PVC, no DEHP – no release of softeners)
Anti-return valves avoid reflux of fluids or drugs beyond the valve during multiple infusions.
Bionector can be disinfected with most of the antiseptic solutions (example: 70% alcohol). Avoid using antiseptic containing both alcohol and oxygenated water.
