Mediplus TIVA Sets were designed in conjunction with anaesthetists to meet the highest TIVA standards as outlined in the SIVA, Euro SIVA and AAGBI guidelines.
These sets provide a reliable, efficient, and safe solution for intravenous drug delivery, ensuring optimal performance in various clinical settings including operating rooms and intensive care units. The Mediplus TIVA Sets are engineered to enhance patient safety and comfort while also offering significant cost savings.
Using a Dedicated Line: Mediplus TIVA Sets use a dedicated line that reduces the risk of leakage associated with multiple connections. This ensures the integrity of the infusion system and maintains a consistent and reliable flow of intravenous fluids.
Free Flow and Backflow Prevention: The integrated anti-siphon and anti-reflux valves prevent free flow and backflow. This crucial feature helps in reducing the risk of overdose or underdose during infusion, ensuring precise control over medication delivery.
Wide Bore IV Gravity Line: The TIVA sets feature a wide bore IV gravity line that enables high fluid flow, ensuring continuous and efficient infusion. This is essential for maintaining proper drug delivery during critical procedures.
Accidental Bolus Prevention: Designed to minimise dead space, Mediplus TIVA Sets help prevent potential overdose in cases of accidental bolus. This design feature is vital for enhancing patient safety by ensuring accurate dosing.
Microbore Tubing: The microbore tubing in the TIVA sets prevents kinking and occlusion, ensuring unimpeded fluid flow throughout the infusion process. This feature guarantees the reliability and efficiency of the IV system.
Siamese Tubing: Siamese tubing on double and triple infusion lines prevents entanglement. This design simplifies the setup and management of infusion lines during procedures, making it easier for healthcare professionals to work efficiently.
Soft Distal End: The soft distal end of the tubing minimizes stress at the cannula site, helping to avoid displacement and increasing patient comfort during and after procedures.
Reduced Drug Wastage: The micro bore tubing minimises post-operative drug wastage, making the TIVA sets a cost-effective solution for healthcare providers.
Versatility: Available in single, double, triple, quadruple and quintuple infusion lines, Mediplus TIVA Sets come in various lengths (2.0m, 2.2m, 2.5m, 3.0m, and 6.0m) to cater to different clinical needs and scenarios.
DEHP-Free PVC: All Mediplus TIVA Sets are made from DEHP-free PVC, reducing the risk of adverse reactions and ensuring compatibility with a wide range of medications.
“We have used the Mediplus tried and trusted TIVA set for over 15 years without incident or failure.”

Anaesthetists today are working in an increasingly complex clinical environment—facing mounting pressure to deliver safe, standardised care while adapting to new guidelines, sustainability targets, and enhanced recovery protocols.
Currently, in the UK and Ireland, general anaesthesia (GA) is most induced by administering a bolus of intravenous anaesthetic drugs and is then maintained through the use of inhaled anaesthetic agents.
Total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA)
What is PONV Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a post-surgical, adverse reaction patients experience after general anaesthesia. It has a negative effect on patients’ recovery, which extends hospital admission time.1 What causes PONV? Several perioperative stimuli can trigger PONV, including opioids, volatile anaesthetics, anxiety, adverse drug reactions and motion. Patient factors also influence the […]
Guidelines are in place to advise clinicians on improving the patient experience of anaesthesia, as well as reducing associated hospital costs and patient backlogs. These include the Enhanced Recovery after Surgery®, Getting it Right First Time and Association of Anaesthetists guidelines. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) ERAS protocols refer to patient-centred guidelines developed by multidisciplinary […]
