I.V. Mini-bag Applicator

thingiverse

This handy device saves your palms when applying reconstitutable vials onto I.V. mini-bags, especially useful in main pharmacy or satellite pharmacy I.V. hoods where dozens of bags are made daily. Quick and easy, you can align and securely affix the vial to the mini-bag with just the right amount of vertical downward force. Update (7/26/17): The opening has been increased for easier removal of the mini-bag after the vial is attached. You can print this device without any support, but some machines might perform better with support enabled. There is a small overhang on the base as well as in the bearing slot in the handle. Print the base and piston with 25% infill and several perimeters. The handle should be printed solid. The HWD dimensions are 210x100x190, making it printable on any 200x200 print bed if placed at an angle. Required non-printed materials include: 1 x M5 45mm bolt 1 x M5 25mm bolt 2 x M5 nut 2 x Ball Bearing 625 2RS 5x16x5
