The infusion set cannot be used for blood transfusion, because the needle of the infusion set is too thin, and the blood is viscous, and the blood transfusion process will become slower and slower, so that the needle is blocked and the blood transfusion cannot be continued.

The infusion set cannot be used for blood transfusion, because the needle of the infusion set is too thin, and the blood is viscous, and the blood transfusion process will become slower and slower, so that the needle is blocked and the blood transfusion cannot be continued.

In addition, the infusion set does not have a filter, and the blood transfusion set has a filter, which can filter impurities in the blood, and the needle is thick, which is conducive to the smooth progress of the blood transfusion.

Disposable blood transfusion sets are used for plasma transfusion, and ordinary infusion sets cannot be used to replace blood transfusion sets, because the filtration of the liquid filter used in ordinary infusion sets is directly 15 microns, and the diameter of blood cells is between 6 and 9 microns, which is easy to be blocked. The most obvious difference from a blood transfusion set is that there is no separate medical solution filter, but a filter mesh in the Murphy's dropper. The pore size is generally 200 microns.

A special infusion set is required. Generally, the needle of this infusion set is slightly larger. If you don’t have a blood transfusion set, you can use an ordinary one.
