MPC-184 Barbed T-Fitting with luer connector- fits 1/4" ID
This product is utilized for the purpose of drawing dialysate test samples.
A Luer T connector featuring a barbed T fitting serves as a medical device employed in various dialysis procedures. It functions as a three-way connector, with a barbed fitting on one end and Luer lock fittings on the other two ends.
- Luer Lock Fitting: This connector type guarantees a secure, leak-proof connection between medical devices. It operates by twisting the connector to lock it securely in place.
- Barbed T Fitting: This component of the connector includes barbs that grip onto tubing, ensuring it remains in place without the necessity for clamps or additional fasteners.
Main Applications:
- Connecting Dialysis Lines: The barbed ends of the T connector are inserted into the dialysis lines, which transport blood and dialysate fluid.
- Creating a Branch Point: The T connector establishes a branch point in the line, facilitating the introduction of additional components or the division of fluid flow.
- Facilitating Blood Sampling: A prevalent application in dialysis is the drawing of blood samples for testing. A needle or syringe equipped with a Luer lock fitting can be attached to the Luer lock end of the T connector, allowing for direct blood sampling from the dialysis circuit.
