Medical valve _
Medical valves are essential devices designed to accurately and reliably manage the flow of fluids and gases in medical systems. Used in highly sensitive environments such as hospitals, clinics and laboratories, these valves ensure maximum safety and constant performance, significantly contributing to therapeutic and diagnostic effectiveness.
Medical valve operation
Medical valves are electromechanical or mechanical devices designed to precisely control the passage of liquids and gases used in healthcare equipment.
- Flow control: they allow precise adjustment of the fluid, ensuring accurate and reliable management.
- Operational safety: prevent any leakage and ensure a safe seal even under high pressure.
- Quick response: immediate opening and closing allows for timely and reliable interventions in medical emergencies.
Medical valves are divided into different categories according to their operation and specific application:
- Solenoid valves: Electrical action with quick opening/closing, ideal for pulmonary ventilators and anaesthetic appliances.
- Proportional valves: They gradually regulate the flow of fluids, used in dialysis and intensive care systems.
- Safety valves: They automatically discharge excess fluids to avoid overpressures, applied in medical and respiratory gas systems.
- Check valves (non-return): They allow the passage of fluid in only one direction, used for infusions and medical pumps.
