The patient line products from medical disposable manufacturer Antmed are designed for high-pressure injections in medical imaging procedures like CT and MRI. Their main function is to deliver a contrast agent from the contrast injectors to the patient in order to enhance the contrast of a specific area during an imaging procedure, thus helping doctors diagnose diseases more easily. These single-use, disposable lines ensure accurate and safe delivery of contrast media, minimizing the risk of infection and ensuring high precision. The connector tubes are flexible and durable, optimized for compatibility with various MRI and CT injection systems.
Antmed's focus on quality materials and precision engineering ensures reliable performance for healthcare providers. These radiology consumables are especially suited for clinical environments, supporting better patient care and imaging outcomes.
What Are the Characteristics of the Patient Lines?
Disposable patient lines are mainly used in the medical imaging field to enhance the clarity of the acquired image by injecting contrast agents to improve the effectiveness of the diagnostic imaging system and to aid the doctor's judgment. These tubes are fluid transfer sets in a sense, but deliver contrast media. Antmed's patient lines have the following features:
- Pressure Tolerance: Patient line products used in CT or MRI systems must handle high-pressure contrast injections. Our products are designed to withstand pressures of up to 24bar/350psi, as high-pressure delivery is necessary for efficient contrast media injection.
- Check Valves: These lines often feature check valves, such as male check valves and membrane check valves. These valves prevent the backflow of fluids, ensuring the injected contrast media flows in the correct direction toward the patient.
- Material and Sterilization: The materials used in connector tubes are often biocompatible plastics designed for medical use. These materials must be both durable and flexible. Our patient lines are made from medical grade materials and are latex and DEHP free to ensure patient safety. In addition, the lines are single-use, ensuring that a new line is used for each patient, minimizing the risk of cross-infection.
- Customization and Diversity: Antmed’s patient lines can be customized to different lengths, which provides flexibility in positioning the injection system relative to the patient. These lines are also available in single-valve, double-valve, Y-fitting, and T-fitting versions.
