Peristaltic Pump in Medical Applications

Introduction

A peristaltic pump is a type of pump that operates based on the peristalsis principle. It consists of a drive motor, a peristaltic pump head, and a controller. The motor drives rollers to rotate, compressing the tubing on the pump head, thereby achieving fluid transport. Compared to other types of pumps, medical peristaltic pumps offer advantages such as stable flow rate, simple operation, and good pump body sealing.  

Usage

When using a medical peristaltic pump, the following points should be noted:

  1. Select the correct pump head:Choose a pump head of appropriate model according to the infusion flow rate and the properties of the fluid.
  2. Connect the infusion tube and fluid bottle:Connect the infusion tube and fluid bottle, and place the fluid bottle parallel to the pump.
  3. Set the infusion flow rate:The infusion flow rate is usually adjusted according to the patient's condition and doctor's orders.  

Applications

Medical peristaltic pumps are widely used in various medical fields such as clinical infusion, heparin pumps, and anesthetic drug pumps. During infusion, peristaltic pumps can ensure stable fluid delivery, preventing excessive or insufficient drug dosage from affecting the patient. In heparin pumps, they can ensure more uniform heparin delivery, reducing the incidence of adverse reactions. In anesthetic drug pumps, peristaltic pumps can ensure accurate drug dosage and prevent leakage.  

Conclusion

In conclusion, medical peristaltic pumps are stable, easy to operate, and reliable medical devices that are widely used in clinical infusion, heparin pumps, anesthetic drug pumps, and other medical fields. When using the pump, it is necessary to select the correct pump head, connect the infusion tube and fluid bottle, and adjust the infusion flow rate.
