ABSTRACT:
A flexible tubing device is used for intravenous infusion of medicine, particularly antibiotics, to all lumens of a multi-lumen central venous line catheter. The single input arm of the tubing device is connected to a source of medicine, and each of the several output legs of the tubing device are connected to different ports on the central venous line catheter. It allows a single input to be divided into a plurality of outputs. To allow this, the free end of the input arm has a female tube connector fitting while the free end of each of the output legs have a male tube connector fitting.
