Octopus with Bionector (1-5 lumen)

Description

Protect-a-set (code 836.02) and Octopus 2 (other codes) are polyurethane, transparent, supple with low dead space double-lumen extension tubes for IV catheters (peripheral or central venous) fitted with one or 2 Bionector.
To identify the different infusion lines, each line has a hub or a clamp of a different colour.
They allow to connect to the catheter several independant IV lines.


Code 841.232 is a double lumen extension tube with 2 non-return valves, 2 Bionector and 2 clamps (green). 
Length of tubes: 3 cm / 3 cm.
Code 841.264 is a double lumen extension tube with 2 Bionector and 2 clamps (green and orange). 
Length of tubes: 10 cm / 10 cm.
Code 842.209 is a double lumen extension tube with 1 non-return valve, 2 Bionector and 2 clamps (green and orange). The end without non-return valve allows the sampling blood.
Length of tubes: 6 cm / 6 cm

Used for peripheral cannula care, Octopus 2 has the following advantages:

• Eliminates the risk of access-associated needle-stick injury
• Reduces the risk of cannula movement in the vein causing mechanical vein irritation
• Negates the need to use the cannula injection port (non disinfectable), Bionector is disinfectable
• Eliminates the need to use a 3-way tap to run simultaneous compatible solutions
• Provides closed system (avoiding blood reflux) when accessing the catheter
• PUR material (no PVC, DEHP-free - no release of softeners)

Non-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 hydrogen peroxide.
