A blood transfusion set is a medical device used to deliver blood or blood products from a donor to a recipient during a blood transfusion. It typically consists of several components that work together to ensure a safe and controlled transfer of blood. Here are the main components of a blood transfusion set:

Needle or Cannula:

This is a hollow, sharp-pointed instrument that is inserted into the vein of the recipient or the donor. The needle or cannula allows for the collection or administration of blood.

Blood Bag:

The blood bag is a sterile plastic pouch that contains the donated blood or blood product. It is typically pre-filled with an anticoagulant solution to prevent blood clotting.

Tubing:

The tubing connects the blood bag to the needle or cannula. It allows the blood to flow from the bag to the recipient or from the donor to the bag, depending on the direction of the transfusion.

Clamps:

These are used to regulate the flow of blood through the tubing. Clamps can be opened or closed to control the speed of the transfusion.

Drip Chamber:

The drip chamber is a transparent container located in the tubing. It allows visual monitoring of the blood flow and prevents air bubbles from entering the recipient's bloodstream.
