I.V. FLOW REGULATOR SET

About I.V. FLOW REGULATOR SET

An IV flow regulator is a device used in intravenous therapy to precisely control the rate of fluid administration to a patient. It offers more accurate and consistent flow control than traditional roller clamps and is commonly used in both hospital and home healthcare settings.

Key Features:

• Dial or Wheel Mechanism:

  • Allows the user to set the flow rate in mL/hour.

  • Typically adjustable in fine increments (e.g., from 5 mL/hr up to 250 mL/hr depending on the model).

• Tubing Integration:

  • Integrated into standard IV tubing or added inline.

  • Compatible with gravity-fed IV systems (no pump required).

• Non-electric:

  • Does not require batteries or external power.

  • Ideal for low-resource or non-hospital environments.

• Flow Accuracy:

  • Provides relatively precise flow without the complexity of an electronic infusion pump.

  • However, less accurate than infusion pumps in high-risk settings.

Common Uses:

• Home infusion therapy

• Palliative care

• Field or rural clinics

• Postoperative fluid management
