IV Disposable Accessories

What IV accessories does BD offer?

BD offers a range of intravenous (IV) stopcocks, IV manifolds, IV filters and other IV accessories that can help meet diverse clinical needs.

Stopcocks are used to control fluid flow in intravenous (IV) lines. Connecta™ stopcocks feature:

A clear housing with two ISO female luer fittings (protected with plugs) and one ISO male luer lock fitting (with a protective cover). The housing has a rotating tap to control fluid flow through the device.¹
A 360° “ON” directed tap for intuitive operation.¹
Color-coded options for easy identification.¹

These stopcocks are available with Extension Tubes—with or without injection ports—within our Extension Sets range.

IV manifolds provide multiple access points for simultaneous infusions:

Configurations: Available in 3-port and 5-port configurations, both featuring integrated stopcocks.²
Clinical Use: Common in ICU and anaesthesia settings for complex medication regimens.³
Design Enhancements: Configurations contain 2-way or 3-way stopcocks, stopcocks with needle-free connector (NFC), and 3 gang or 5 gang manifolds.²

Function: Add-on filters attach to IV administration lines to allow the passage of aqueous solutions while blocking microbial cells and air of similar or larger size.⁴
Types: Available in two configurations:
- 0.2 micron filters – designed to remove bacteria and air.
- 1.2 micron filters – suitable for lipid-based solutions.

Filters may also be integrated directly into IV sets for streamlined use.⁴

Placement: Typically positioned near the patient end of the line or within extension sets for enhanced protection and convenience.⁴
Clinical Relevance: Helps reduce the risk of complications such as phlebitis, granuloma, arterial embolism, modulation of immune response, microcirculation deterioration and even death.⁵

IV caps are used to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.

Types: Combistopper, caps and caps with injection port.
Cap Compatibility: male or female, luer slip or luer lock.⁶
Use Cases: Applied to needle-free connectors, stopcocks and open ports when not in use.
