The best manufacturers have established the production of special devices that are easy to use by medical personnel in intensive care units and during intensive care. They are completely safe for humans. Their main task is to inject the drug into a patient's vein in a metered dose for a long time.
In all medical institutions, droppers are constantly given to patients. These are the good old systems that have saved millions of lives. But progress does not stand still. Today, this procedure is carried out using an infusion pump - a very important and useful medical device. Doctors who have encountered this device at least once understand how progressive and multifunctional it is.
The essential difference from a dropper is as follows: an infusion pump is not just a device for administering medicines to a person, but a whole system that allows you to inject medicines in several ways:
Popular models that top the quality rating are produced by the world's leading UK company Heaco.
Syringe dispensers are used for intravenous infusion when high precision is required. Such devices enable the doctor to set a specific program and regulate the rate of drug intake and their volume, relying on a built-in special electronic system. Electronics allows medication to be administered at any time of the day or night, taking into account various factors.
The device starts to work on its own at the programmed time, with the introduction of a person's weight, it will be able to determine the required dosage. Models are available that allow you to enter several drugs at once, as well as their combination. Today, two-syringe pumps are available, which are equipped with two self-contained syringe pumps, making it possible to inject both solutions with personalized infusion parameters.
Thanks to the devices, the dosage will be strictly observed. He can also remember previous procedures.Useful information can be displayed on the Russian-language display and will enable the doctor to get acquainted with the necessary data. The device is also equipped with an "alarm" signal, which is activated when the procedure is completed or when an emergency situation occurs.
All devices are classified as high-precision, have a significant dose rate. They are distinguished by ease of management. The syringe is securely attached with one button. Using a special device, it can be installed on an infusion station, headboard, equipment stand, gurney to provide emergency resuscitation assistance to a patient.
The design compares favorably with droppers. The positive aspects include:
Medical institutions purchase two types of devices:
The introduction of drugs with an electronic model is carried out due to the presence of an electronic unit, which carries out not only the calculation of the supply, but also the heating of the drug. Equipment of this type is present in the departments of anesthesia and intensive care.
In infusion pumps, both disposable syringes and plastic containers with drugs can be installed. How to choose the best option? It is necessary to determine the scope of its use. Manufacturers produce popular portable and stationary models. The latter are very popular in ambulances, field conditions, rescue services, and so on.
Infusion pumps are classified as disposable and reusable. In turn, reusable are:
Subspecies | Characteristic |
---|---|
Small volume | Used for small doses. This applies mainly to hormonal drugs. Due to the presence of the drive, the piston moves on the installed syringe, controlled by the microprocessor unit. |
Large volume | Designed for the introduction of large quantities of liquid solutions. Equipped with peristaltic pumps. As a rule, this role is played by special rollers, which periodically squeeze the silicone tube, through which the solution is injected. The rollers are controlled by a microprocessor unit. |
Disposable systems can deliver drugs at a constant rate and at an adjustable rate. Modern syringe dispensers are available with additional features:
Almost all modern devices have a liquid crystal display, which makes it possible to easily and comfortably monitor the functioning of the system, as well as set the necessary parameters for infusion.

A high quality syringe dispenser is produced in the territory of the Middle Kingdom. The development has an Anti-bolus function, which involves the movement of a certain amount of fluid in the opposite direction when a clamping signal is triggered. This will not give an opportunity to make an overdose, preventing negative consequences for the patient.
The anti-siphon design prevents the liquid from flowing out spontaneously. This will be achieved by equipping the equipment with a locking guide screw. As soon as the door is opened, the infusion line is automatically clamped with a clamp to prevent a large volume of medication from entering the person. The presence of an ultrasonic sensor allows you to catch the smallest air bubbles (up to 50 microns) so that they do not enter the patient's body. The system is able to identify up to five bubble levels based on needs.
The model is interesting in that it is equipped with a large number of infusion modes. The presence of the titration function allows you to change the drug delivery rate without turning off the pump and without interrupting the operation of the device.

Often in medical practice, a situation arises when it is necessary for the patient to inject the drug in minimal doses for a long time. To exclude inaccurate actions of medical personnel and to optimize the work of specialists of a medical institution, special devices are purchased - syringe dispensers, which belong to the category of high-precision medical equipment that ensures the supply of the patient with the necessary drugs in a strictly established amount.
The names of the devices are different. They are called volumetric infusion pumps, infusion pump, peristaltic pump, infusion pump, and so on. In essence, it is one and the same device, the main task of which is to solve similar medical problems with minor nuances. Thus, volumetric pumps function as follows: thanks to rollers, a tube with a liquid is pinched, which is pushed forward. These models are not equipped with oil seals, valves or seals. The liquid flows inside the tube and contacts the hose.These devices are widely used all over the world.
Despite the complex electronic filling, the products are quite easy to use. The syringe is attached to the device in a split second by means of one button. Its location is a holder, from where, through a special catheter, drugs enter the patient's vein. The main thing is to correctly squeeze the piston so that the drug gets to its intended purpose.
Subsequently, all actions will take place automatically, in the absence of activity on the part of medical personnel. The technique, when setting the preset parameters, is itself able to exactly fulfill all the doctor's prescriptions, set the speed and dosage of the injected drug, and the duration of therapy.
There is no need for round-the-clock shifts, since in case of an unforeseen situation, the device will promptly let you know with light and sound alarms. The infusomat allows you to qualitatively restore the health of seriously ill patients, as it performs manipulations based on the physical condition of a person.
