Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of infusion set components, specifically an infusion set venting device. Background Technology

[0002] An infusion set is a common medical device, mainly used for intravenous infusion therapy. It uses gravity to allow the liquid in the infusion bottle or bag to flow into the patient's vein through the tubing of the infusion set. When the liquid passes through the drip chamber, the liquid level in the drip chamber will drop as the liquid flows out, thus creating a certain pressure difference. Usually, an air vent is installed at the drip chamber of the infusion set.

[0003] The existing infusion set venting device still has the following problems when in use: the venting device is usually set above the drip chamber, and its main body is a three-way connector. Each of the three joints of the three-way connector is fitted with a hose. The upper hose is connected to the infusion structure, the upper other hose is connected to the venting nozzle, and the lower hose is connected to the drip chamber. Usually, the drip chamber is squeezed manually to vent the air through the venting nozzle, which is quite inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] It should be noted that the liquid-repellent and gas-permeable membrane is existing technology, namely expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) membrane. Its PTFE material undergoes special treatment, resulting in a more porous microstructure and forming more microchannels. These channels allow gas molecules to pass freely while creating a strong surface tension barrier against the liquid, i.e., liquid-repellent and gas-permeable. This is common knowledge among those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4In this embodiment of the present invention, an infusion set venting device includes a dripping mechanism, which comprises a rubber tube 1 and a liquid dispensing mechanism 2. A liquid inlet and venting mechanism 3 is provided at the upper end of the rubber tube 1.

The inlet connector 25 can be used with a hose to connect to the infusion structure, i.e., the infusion bottle or infusion bag, and the liquid inside can fall into the dripping mechanism under gravity.

[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the infusion structure, i.e., the infusion bottle or infusion bag, can be connected through the inlet connector 25 and the hose. The liquid inside can fall into the dripping mechanism under gravity. The discharge end of the dripping bucket is fixedly installed with a guide seat 31. The guide seat 31 has a guide hole with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part in the middle. The outlet connector 32 is fixedly installed at the opening of the guide hole at the bottom of the guide seat 31.
