Surflo Winged Infusion Set Main Uses
Subcutaneous Fluid Administration: Frequently used in veterinary medicine for at-home administration of subcutaneous (SQ) fluids to cats and dogs with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
Venipuncture and Blood Collection: Provides short-term venous access for injections, blood collection, or brief infusion procedures.
Infusion Therapy: Provides a stable connection for intermittent or continuous infusions where a standard over-the-needle catheter may not be necessary.
 
Surflo Winged Infusion Set Materials
Stainless Steel Needle: Features a precisely honed, "thin-wall" or "ultra-thin wall" design that allows for higher flow rates through a smaller needle gauge, reducing puncture pain.
Medical Grade PVC Tubing: The 12-inch (30 cm) tubing is DEHP-free and designed to be kink-resistant to maintain consistent fluid flow.
Synthetic Wings: Soft, flexible interlocking wings (color-coded by gauge) that conform to the animal's body for stable positioning.
 
Surflo Winged Infusion Set Safety
Safety Warnings:
Needlestick Injury: Users should exercise caution when recapping or disposing.
Recoil: Ensure the tubing is fully extended and not coiled to prevent the needle from being pulled out of the pet during movement.
Contraindications: Not intended for long-term (multi-day) indwelling use; an IV catheter should be used if permanent access is required.
