Yes. The Filter Membrane Housing (Large + Small) (JT-043) is molded from ABS and is compatible with standard medical sterilization for single-use devices. Confirm the validated method for your process. Baixin Bio can advise on material and sterilization for IV infusion sets and fluid-transfer lines.
Definition
A filter membrane housing (large + small) is one of the small standardized parts that make a medical fluid path work. Its job is to connect, seal or control flow between two segments of a line, and it is manufactured from device-qualified plastics for reliable single-use performance.
The component is small, but it carries real responsibility: a poor seal or an out-of-tolerance dimension can compromise an entire single-use assembly, which is why medical molders control material, tooling and process tightly.
To put it in context: a disposable fluid-handling device is rarely one molding. It is a chain of small components — connectors, valves, chambers, clamps, caps and tubing — assembled into a single path. Standard interfaces are what let those components come from a catalog and still fit, which is the whole reason this category of part exists.
About This Component
The Filter Membrane Housing (Large + Small) is supplied as a single-use molded part for IV infusion sets and fluid-transfer lines. Its interface follows standard conventions so it mates predictably with compatible components, and it is produced in ABS by default, with other medical-grade resins available on request.
Like all Baixin Bio components, it can be customized for material, color, dimensions, packaging and assembly. For a precise specification — exact dimensions, tolerances, sterilization validation, packaging counts and minimum order quantity — request a drawing and samples through the inquiry form.
Key Advantages
The reasons filter membrane housing (large + small) is specified come down to a few concrete advantages:
- Medical-grade resin selected for fluid compatibility
- Dimensional consistency across production lots
- Smooth fluid-contact surfaces for reliable connection
- Available in multiple materials and colors
- Supports OEM and ODM customization of dimensions and packaging
None of these advantages matter in isolation; their value is cumulative. A part that seals well but drifts dimensionally, or one that is consistent but slow to supply, fails the assembler. The point is to get all of them at once, reliably, lot after lot.
Common Applications
In practice, filter membrane housing (large + small) appears wherever a controlled fluid connection is needed:
- Blood and fluid transfer lines
- Hemodialysis circuits
- Enteral feeding sets
- Laboratory fluid handling
The common thread is that every one of these settings needs junctions it can trust. A standardized, single-use component delivers that trust at scale: the same interface, the same seal and the same material behavior across an entire production lot, so the clinical team and the device maker are not relying on a one-off fitting at a critical point in the line.
How to Specify and Choose
Specifying the right part is mostly about matching a handful of variables to your assembly:
- The sterilization method the finished device will undergo
- Whether the part is single-use or intended for limited reuse
- Color coding or opacity requirements for the assembly
- Packaging format and order volume for the program
- The connection standard the mating part uses (luer slip, luer lock or a specific ISO 80369 series)
Once these are defined, sample qualification against your own process is the last step before volume. If no catalog part matches, these same inputs drive a custom mold.
Industry Standards
Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases are governed by the ISO 80369 family, which is progressively replacing the historical luer standard to reduce the risk of misconnection between different clinical applications. Medical-grade resins are selected and documented for biocompatibility, and finished components are sterilized by validated methods such as ethylene oxide (EO), gamma irradiation or steam autoclave depending on the material.
For ABS components, the practical sterilization options are EO and gamma; the choice is confirmed against the finished device and its validated process.
The reason the standards landscape moved toward ISO 80369 is patient safety: when every line used the same luer taper, it was physically possible to connect, say, an enteral line to an intravenous one. The newer series give different applications deliberately incompatible geometries so a dangerous misconnection cannot be made by accident. For a component maker, that means confirming which series an application requires before specifying a part.
