B. Braun CARESITE Secondary IV Administration Set

Adding a Medication Without Adding a New Line

Piggybacking a secondary infusion onto an existing primary line means a patient already on maintenance fluids doesn't need a second catheter just to receive an intermittent medication. The secondary set connects at the CARESITE injection port on the primary line, letting the medication infuse and then hand control back to the maintenance fluid once it's done. The catch worth knowing before ordering: this set is built to work with CARESITE-style ports specifically, so it needs a compatible primary set already in use, not just any brand of IV tubing. Confirming that match up front avoids discovering a connection problem at the bedside.
