Picture of Home Infusion Bottle

[Guest guest]

As an FYI here is a picture of the home infusion bottle I am using for

IV fluids three days a week.

As you can see, it looks like a baby bottle without the nipple. There

is a latex balloon inside the bottle. The balloon is pressurized and

also contains the perscribed fluids. It hooks right up to my CVC (as

simple as putting two Lego pieces together)and the pressure in the

balloon sends the fluid up my line and right on in. No gravity

feed...I can put the bottle in my pocket and walk around. The only

work involved is flushing the line with saline before connecting and

then with heparin when the infusion is complete. Piece of cake.
