INT Medical High Pressure Manifold I

Coronary angiography and percutaneous intervention both need several fluid pathways available from one point. Contrast has to be injected for imaging. Saline has to be flushed to clear the catheter. Arterial pressure has to be read continuously. Medication is sometimes given through the same circuit. The manifold makes each of these selectable by turning a handle.

Keeping the circuit closed is the clinical argument. Every disconnection risks blood loss and lets air into the system. Air reaching a coronary or cerebral artery can cause ischaemia. A manifold reduces the number of times anything is opened during a case. INT also presents single-use construction as removing the complications associated with reusable manifold systems. Cleaning and reprocessing introduce their own risks.

Port count follows case complexity. Diagnostic angiography often needs only contrast and flush, which two ports cover. Interventional work generally calls for three, so pressure monitoring runs continuously alongside injection. Continuous monitoring matters in its own right. Damping of the trace warns that the catheter tip is obstructing flow. Four ports allow an additional line where a case requires it. Handle convention and port orientation are ergonomic rather than clinical choices. Both still affect how quickly an operator selects the right pathway under time pressure. That is where selection errors occur. The pressure line references remove one connection from the setup, which cuts the assembly work done at the start of a case.

Peripheral interventional radiology uses the same manifolds for arterial and venous contrast work. Medigear.uk supplies the instructions for use with every order.

Both Handle Conventions in Every Port Count

ON and OFF versions exist across two, three, and four ports, so a laboratory orders the convention its staff already use rather than retraining.

Left and Right Port Orientation

AM0307 and AM0308 provide a left-port option, which suits table layouts and operator handedness that a right-port manifold does not.

Low-Torque Handle Rotation

Handles turn smoothly, which matters when pathway selection happens repeatedly and quickly during a case.

Three Port Counts From One Supplier

Two, three,e and four port versions come from the same range, letting a unit match manifold to case complexity without splitting the account.

Pressure Line Variant Available

AM0303 and AM0303A arrive with a pressure line rather than a rotating adapter, removing a separate connection from the setup.

Single-Use Construction

The manufacturer presents single-use as avoiding the reprocessing risks that come with reusable manifold systems.

Handle Colour and Housing Logo Customisation

Colour coding by convention and a housing logo are both offered, which can support standardisation across a department.

Consolidated Supply Through Medigear.uk

Medigear.uk quotes the full AM manifold range on one account alongside the extension tubing, syringes and kits that connect to it.

500 psi Pressure Rating

The range is rated up to 500 psi, equal to 34 bar.

Two-Port References

AM0201 and AM0202 cover contrast and flush for diagnostic work.

Three-Port References

AM0301, AM0302, AM0303, AM0303A, AM0307 and AM0308 add a dedicated pressure monitoring channel.

Four-Port References

AM0401 and AM0402 allow an additional line beyond the standard three.

ON Handle Versions

AM0201, AM0301, AM0303, AM0307 and AM0401 use the ON convention.

OFF Handle Versions

AM0202, AM0302, AM0303A, AM0308 and AM0402 use the OFF convention.

Rotating Adapter Connection

Eight of the ten references carry a rotating adapter at the patient connection.

Pressure Line Connection

AM0303 and AM0303A are supplied with a pressure line instead.

Right Port Orientation

Eight references place the ports to the right of the manifold body.

Left Port Orientation

AM0307 and AM0308 place the ports to the left.

Smooth Low-Torque Rotation

Handle movement is designed to stay light through repeated switching.

Handle Colour and Logo Options

Handle colour customisation and a built-in logo on the housing are both available.

The INT Medical High Pressure Manifold gives a catheter laboratory ten references across two, three and four ports, covering both handle conventions and both port orientations at a 500 psi rating. That range lets a unit standardise on the convention its staff already use and match port count to case complexity, rather than working around whichever configuration a supplier happens to stock. Medigear.uk supplies the range to UK cardiac catheter laboratories and interventional radiology suites, alongside the extension tubing, syringes and manifold kits that connect to it. Before supply, Medigear.uk will confirm sterility and packaging state, shelf life, box quantity, packing dimensions in LBH mm, the complete current reference list, and UK conformity status.
