The simple and alternative method to IV hydration therapy, the Aqua-C is an easy and convenient way of providing hydration for long-term care patients where venous access can be difficult or unacceptable.
The Aqua-C is easier and less distressing to administer than IV hydration, more suitable for home use, and often eliminates the need for hospitalization to find a vein. The Aqua-C’s smaller gauge needles enhance patient comfort while its two-needle design promotes even fluid dispersion.
Hypodermoclysis does not cause thrombophlebitis and is less likely than IV administration to cause pulmonary edema or fluid overload. The Aqua-C is the perfect solution where IV access is not an option.
Aqua-C Hydration System includes: Extension Set, Prep Swab, Gauze, Latex Free Gloves, Transparent Dressing.
