The Flow Regulator (Large) (TS-002) is a medical plastic component used in IV infusion sets and tubing flow control. It provides a secure, single-use connection in the fluid path and is molded from ABS. Baixin Bio supplies it in standard form and with OEM/ODM customization.
Definition
A flow regulator (large) 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.
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 Flow Regulator (Large) is supplied as a single-use molded part for IV infusion sets and tubing flow control. 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
Where flow regulator (large) earns its place, it is for a handful of practical reasons:
- Available in multiple materials and colors
- Supports OEM and ODM customization of dimensions and packaging
- High-volume manufacturing with stable quality
- Compatibility with common sterilization methods
- Standardized interface that interoperates with compliant luer components
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
The settings that rely on flow regulator (large) include:
- IV infusion sets
- Blood and fluid transfer lines
- Hemodialysis circuits
- Enteral feeding sets
Across all of these uses, the underlying requirement is the same: a connection that is secure, leak-resistant and safe to make once and discard. That is why standardized, single-use molded components dominate the category — they remove variability from the most failure-prone part of a fluid path, the junction, and they let a device be assembled quickly and qualified as a unit.
How to Specify and Choose
A good specification answers a short list of questions up front:
- 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)
- The working pressure the junction must hold without leaking or separating
Getting these settled early means the first samples are usable and the program moves to volume faster. When a standard part does not fit, the same variables become the brief for an OEM or ODM tooling project.
Industry Standards
Two standards questions dominate this category: connection geometry and sterilization. Connection geometry is increasingly defined by the ISO 80369 series, which separates applications so incompatible lines cannot mate; sterilization is handled by validated EO, gamma or steam autoclave processes matched to the resin and the device.
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.
