A system for introducing liquid slowly and continuously into the body, by which a bottle of liquid is held above a person and the fluid flows slowly down a tube into a needle in a vein or into the stomach.
Apparatus for the continuous injection (transfusion) of blood, plasma, saline, glucose solution, or other fluid into a vein. The fluid flows under gravity from a suspended bottle through a tube ending in a hollow needle inserted into the patient’s vein. The rate of flow can be adjusted according to the rate of drips seen in a transparent section of the tube, which also serves as a trap for bubbles.
The gradual delivery of medications, blood, plasma, or similar substances into a vein or subcutaneous tissues.
