CT Connection Tube (T-Type)

The CT Connection Tube (T-Type) is a specialized medical device used extensively in diagnostic imaging, particularly in computed tomography (CT) scans. It serves as a tubing system that efficiently connects contrast injection devices, catheters, or fluid lines, facilitating the precise and secure flow of contrast agents or diagnostic fluids. The T-Type configuration, named for its "T"-shaped structure with three branching sections, allows for the simultaneous flow of fluids in multiple directions. This makes it especially useful in CT angiography, where the accurate delivery of contrast media is critical for the visualization of blood vessels and other anatomical structures during imaging.
Designed for multi-port connectivity, the CT Connection Tube (T-Type) enhances the control and administration of contrast fluids, contributing to superior image quality and diagnostic accuracy during CT procedures. Its versatility and reliability make it an essential component in any contrast-enhanced CT examination, offering healthcare professionals greater control over fluid management throughout the scanning process.
Constructed from non-toxic medical-grade PVC, the CT Connection Tube (T-Type) is ISO and CE certified, ensuring high safety standards and regulatory compliance. It is engineered to withstand pressures up to 350 PSI, making it compatible with high-pressure injectors used in modern imaging systems. Available in spiral and non-spiral designs, the tubing offers leakage-proof performance and comes in standard lengths such as 150 cm, 210 cm, or customized lengths based on procedural needs. The tube’s transparent body allows for clear visualization of fluid flow, while its pain-free fluid transfer capability ensures patient comfort, especially during preoperative fluid removal or contrast delivery.
