Keeping IV Admixture Devices Among Your Pharmacy Supplies



As a pharmacy, you never know when you will be called on to provide that bit of equipment that someone so desperately needs. Although far more commonplace in hospitals, neighborhood pharmacies will occasionally be presented with requests for home IV tubing supplies, and the filters and adapters that go along with them. Having these simple items in stock can be the difference between someone getting to go home, or needing to stay in the hospital. Help to make your patients as comfortable as possible during this time by keeping these common pharmacy supplies in stock.


Regardless of what manner of tubing your pharmacy supplies require, Wolf Medical Supply,can provide you with a full source of the tubing, filters and other supplies that you need. When patients require in-home intravenous therapy, your pharmacy must be able to supply them with all of the required pieces, or they will be forced to take their business elsewhere.


Keeping the Vial-Mate Adapter in stock as a regular part of your pharmacy supplies will enable your customers to make use of many medications that require mixing at the time of administration. This simple to use device allows your customers to mix concentrated forms of medication into IV fluid bags for proper home delivery. Along with all of the basic tubing needs, these items will help make your pharmacy supplies well known for being able to provide proper IV therapy to patients who are in need. Help your lifelong customers to stay at the pharmacy they have trusted for their entire lives by investing in the proper IV therapy supplies now. With a long shelf life, these items take up little space and will always be ready when one of your trusted patients requires intravenous therapy in the comfort of their own homes. By having these common items available for purchase in your pharmacy, you can continue your long-standing reputation of having everything that your patients need, and being a trusted family pharmacy for generations.

Options for IV Administration Set Stocking

Not every situation can be handled with a single type of Administration Set , and knowing that your supply room has what you require can save time and frustration among your staff. Taking the time to consider your business's needs now can make maintaining your IV Administration stock easier.Whether you are ordering supplies for a hospital, an infusion center, or a physician's office, having your basic supplies stocked and ready for any eventuality is critical to the continued success of your business. At  Wolf Medical Supply, Inc, we want your company to be prepared for everything, and that means supplying you with an easy way to order IV Administration Sets and supplies for your business.


Allergic reactions are a constant concern in any field of the medical business. Due to the high number of patients with latex allergies, we insist that all of our IV Administration Sets are latex-free and non-DEHP. Because of the demand for excellence from our customers, you can be confident that our latex free products are safe for your company and your patients. Many of our IV Administration Sets are lipid resistant, giving you less to worry about when administering lipid-based medications.


To enable you to provide your patients with only the safest materials available, we insist that only non-DEHP tubing be used in our IV Administration Sets. Preventing di-ethylhexyl phthalate's use in our products allows you to administer all types of common IV liquid without worry of having this chemical softener leaching from the PVC IV bag into the liquid. Just another benefit that you can rely on when you use Wolf Medical Supply, for your IV Administration Set needs.


Another feature of our line of IV administration sets is the male luer lock that is included in every IV set we carry. The male luer lock allows for greater security when using needle-free valves  to introduce additional medicines intravenously.


The rotating function of the luer lock allows your staff to insure a tight seal whenever injecting new medications into the IV line, so you know that you patient is getting all of the medication without the risk of any spilling out due to an improper connection, inadvertent twisting, or accidental catheter disconnection. Any time you are introducing pressurized injection materials, the luer lock option creates a more reliable means of introduction than you could achieve otherwise.


Our full selection of IV Administration Sets includes both vented and non-vented options, allowing you to select whichever option is required. The more traditional non-vented IV set will be used for everyday situations and whenever a PVC bag is used for introducing medication into the tubing.


Relying on the vacuum created as solution exits the source is not always an option, however. For those situations when glass containers must be used, having vented IV set in stock can provide  a means of introducing air into the bottle so that the solution will drip into the IV line.
