Porex Porous Plastics Vents allow venting of air in the visualization chamber of IV catheters
Porex Porous Products Groupus Plastics Vents allow venting of air in the visualization chamber of IV catheters without hand manipulation of the vent. When blood fills the visualization chamber, the Porex self-sealing mechanism closes off the vent thus protecting the clinician from blood borne pathogens. A one-piece molded part reduces cost and eliminates manufacturing steps.

POREX'S patented Mupor™ PTFE allows continuous venting while the naturally hydrophobic membrane prevents liquid passage. Available in various thickness and pore size configurations.
