Silicone Duckbill Valve in Air Inlet of IV Set Spike Case Study
A silicone duckbill valve in an IV set spike can mean the difference between smooth fluid delivery and costly flow interruptions. A German medical supplies company needed a dependable air inlet valve that allowed air entry into the IV bottle while keeping the air filter dry, clog-free, and antibacterial. Our duckbill one way valve answered that call.
Client Story: German Medical Supplies Specialist
Based in Germany, this client produces IV administration components for hospitals and clinics. Their challenge? Standard air inlet valves deformed after extended use, letting filters wet out and clog. This risked both patient safety and operational efficiency.
We supplied a silicone duckbill check valve that maintained shape even after long-term pressing. It always returned to its original form, ensuring reliable air entry and preventing filter compromise.
