ConMed 87101 Dual Spike Adapter - Sterile Fluid Administration/Irrigation Y-Connector

ConMed Dual Spike Adapter | Sterile Irrigation Accessory | 87101

The ConMed 87101 is a high-flow sterile irrigation accessory designed to streamline fluid administration during procedures requiring large volumes of saline or sterile water. By allowing the surgical team to connect two fluid bags to a single irrigation line, this adapter eliminates the need for frequent line swaps and reduces the risk of air entry into the system.

Commonly utilized in arthroscopy, laparoscopy, and urology, the 87101 is an essential component for maintaining a clear surgical field while maximizing procedural efficiency and aseptic safety.

Key Performance Features

• Dual-Source Connectivity: Features two sharp, vented spikes that allow for the simultaneous connection of two irrigation bags. This ensures a continuous fluid supply and minimizes the "downtime" typically required to change bags during a case.

• Integrated Clamps: Each of the two spike leads is equipped with a high-torque slide clamp, giving the surgical assistant total control over fluid sourcing and allowing for the isolation of an empty bag without breaking the sterile circuit.

• High-Flow Bore: The internal diameter of the adapter is optimized for high-volume fluid delivery, supporting the rapid irrigation needs of arthroscopic pumps and gravity-fed systems.

• Universal Compatibility: Designed to fit standard irrigation tubing and all major brands of sterile fluid bags, ensuring seamless integration into existing hospital or ASC inventory.

• Drip Chamber Interface: The distal end of the adapter is designed to connect securely to standard irrigation sets, providing a leak-proof transition for gravity or pump-assisted delivery.
