The normally open valve is designed to prevent the back flow of fluids.
Infusion therapy and pain management device manufacturer B. Braun is now offering normally open low-pressure check valves through its valve-focused OEM division.
The valves, offered by Bethlehem, Pa.-based B. Braun, are designed to prevent fluid backflow into primary IV containers during piggyback hookup or bolus injections.
The valves operate via gravity and flow pressure, with a low back pressure of 6.75 inches of water to reseal and high back pressure of 30 PSI, according to the company. The bulk-available, non-sterile valves are lipid resistant, do not contain natural rubber latex and can be integrated into custom fluid administration sets.
