Abstract

A disposable system for enabling a succession of individuals to be supplied with a sterile medical solution during operative and other procedures utilizes a number of spaced apart, penetrable elastomerically sealed funnels branching from an outlet from the solution container or an attached drip chamber. A standard sterile administration set having a spike end may be inserted into the seal of a first funnel to provide flow to a first individual. After the first procedure is completed the conduit to the first funnel is clamped off and the sequence repeated, but with the spike end of a second administration set inserted for supply to solution to a second individual. This sequence may be repeated for a selectable number of branches, enabling valuable solution from a container to be used with minimum wastage but without danger of cross-contamination.
