[Advances in infusion technics].
Two interesting developments in the area of infusion technology are being presented. The first product concerns a rather simple, but precise, and manually ajustable flow control device for intra-venous fluid administration without the need of having an infusion pump. The second product concerns a continuous flush device for arterial and venous indwelling cannulae. The main area of clinical application of the latter product is the combination with intraarterial catheters which are used to monitor various arterial pressures. Adaptation of the device to intravenous catheters is also possible. The main benefit derived from the flushing device is a significant prolongation of catheter function and patency.
