The Filter Membrane Housing (Large + Small) (JT-043) suits IV infusion sets and fluid-transfer lines and similar single-use fluid-handling assemblies. It is molded from ABS for dependable connections. Baixin Bio offers it as a standard or customized part.
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.
What separates a medical-grade part from a generic fitting is repeatability. Sealing surfaces are smooth and consistent, dimensions hold across the lot, and the resin is selected for fluid compatibility and sterilization.
Seen in context, the component is one link in a chain. A complete single-use set joins several molded parts into one continuous fluid path, and each junction has to seal and hold. Because the interfaces are standardized, an assembler can combine catalog parts with confidence rather than designing every joint from scratch.
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:
- Leak-resistant seal that holds under normal line pressure
- Single-use design that supports sterile, disposable workflows
- 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
Taken together, these are the reasons device makers standardize on molded medical components rather than improvising connections: the part is predictable, documented and available at volume, which keeps the finished device safe and the production line moving.
Common Applications
In practice, filter membrane housing (large + small) appears wherever a controlled fluid connection is needed:
- Enteral feeding sets
- Laboratory fluid handling
- Irrigation sets
- Disposable diagnostic devices
- Syringe and pump connections
What links these applications is risk. Each one moves fluid into or out of a patient or a sample, so a leak, a wrong connection or a contaminated surface has consequences. Standardized single-use components reduce that risk by making every junction predictable and by being discarded rather than reprocessed, which is the safer default for most modern disposable devices.
How to Specify and Choose
A good specification answers a short list of questions up front:
- 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)
- The working pressure the junction must hold without leaking or separating
- The fluid and its chemical compatibility with the candidate resin
With those answers in hand, a supplier can confirm a standard part or scope a custom one without back-and-forth. Sharing a drawing or a physical sample removes the remaining ambiguity.
Industry Standards
From a compliance standpoint, the component sits at the intersection of connector standards and material standards. The ISO 80369 family governs small-bore connection geometry to prevent misconnection, while biocompatibility documentation and a validated sterilization route — EO, gamma or autoclave — establish that the molded material is acceptable for its intended contact.
For ABS components, the practical sterilization options are EO and gamma; the choice is confirmed against the finished device and its validated process.
Much of the modern standards work exists to prevent misconnection. Historically a single luer taper served many applications, which made cross-connections physically possible; the ISO 80369 series assign distinct geometries to different uses so incompatible lines simply will not mate. When you specify a connector, identifying the correct series for the application is therefore a safety decision, not just a fit decision.
