Abstract

The embodiments of the subject invention in general describe an infusion device with adjustable length tubing. More particularly, the subject invention pertains to one or more embodiment(s) of an I.V. set, or similar device, having a coiled tubing. Specifically disclosed is an I.V. set with coiled tubing wherein the coils are attached but separable to add length and flexibility to the tubing.

Claims

1. An intravenous medical device comprising:

an elongated tubing having a distal end and a proximal end, where some portion therebetween is formed as a rigid coil structure of separably attached coils;

one or more fluid intake mechanisms affixed to the distal end of the tubing;

one or more fluid transfer mechanisms affixed to the proximal end of the tubing.

2. An intravenous medical device, according to claim 1, further comprising one or more fluid control mechanisms.

4. An intravenous medical device, according to claim 1, further comprising one or more fluid control mechanisms.

3. An intravenous medical device comprising:

two or more elongated tubings having a distal end and a proximal end, where for some portion therebetween the two or more elongated tubings are joined to form a single rigid coil structure of separably attached coils;

one or more fluid intake mechanisms affixed to the distal end of one or more of the tubings;

one or more fluid transfer mechanisms affixed to the proximal end of one or more of the tubings.
