Medical Fluid Delivery
Handling and controlling fluids, for example in IV (intravenous) therapy and enteral (gastrointestinal) fluid delivery, often involve large volume parenteral IV bottles and bags, as well as various pumps to facilitate fluid delivery to the patient and connection devices that integrate the fluid bag/bottle, pump and tubing into a single system. SABIC offers a broad portfolio of materials which can provide transparency, withstand sterilization processes and can enable cost-effective mass production of single use parts.
