Qosina recently announced that it has added tinted, gamma-sterilizable, large-bore tuohy borst adapters to its current line of tuohy borsts.

The addition of the tuohy borst adapters brings Qosina’s number of off-the-shelf options to 13 that can accommodate instrument sizes up to 18 FR.

Qosina’s new tuohy borst adapters are made from a clear or tinted polycarbonate body with a leak-proof silicone gasket. They feature a female luer lock and tubing connection sideports for flushing, barbed and threaded flare ends, as well as red and blue caps. The components are designed to help prevent fluid back flow. The company suggests that they are ideal for applications that require a larger instrument or device.

The new large-bore tuohy borst adapters will be on display at MD&M East in New York, June 12-14 at booth 1529.
