Filters and IV Products

In the medical device industry, filtration eliminates unwanted substances in air, gasses, or fluids from coming in contact with a patient. Filters are commonly associated with intravenous (IV) components and are engineered from a variety of materials, including plastics and ceramics. Because many medical devices and medications are delivered intravenously, catheters are fabricated from a variety of materials for applications ranging from angioplasty to urology. Connectors, couplings, cannulae, luers, and stopcocks are also critical components employed in delivery systems.
