What Is a Dual Chamber IV Bag?
A dual chamber IV bag is a special kind of IV bag that has two separate interior chambers - one at the top of the bag and one at the bottom. This unique design allows the dual chamber IV bag to store different parts of a formula separately, separated by a central divider, until they are ready to mix, activate, and use.
Dual chamber IV bags are used in particular circumstances with drugs and formulas that are best-kept separate before use. They usually feature a powdered form of a drug in the base chamber, with a liquid solution in the top chamber. When it's time to use the bag, the central divider of the dual chamber IV bag is removed, mixing the two formulas so that they're ready for administration.
Dual chamber IV bags have various specific uses and are an important piece of infusion equipment, helping in the treatment of many patients on a daily basis.

How Does a Dual Chamber IV Bag Work?
The key feature of a dual chamber IV bag is its separated chambers. Each chamber contains a part of the overall formula that needs to be administered, and each part is kept separate from the other up to the point of activation. When it’s time to use the IV bag, the parts will be mixed and activated, and the bag itself will be connected to an IV line in order to feed the formula along the line and into the patient’s body.
Dual Chamber IV Bag Sizes
Like other IV bags, dual chamber IV bags are available in a range of different sizes, from relatively small bags up to much larger alternatives. Some of the most common sizes of dual chamber IV bags include 1,000ml, 2,000ml, 3,000ml, and 4,000ml.
Dual Chamber IV Bag Types
Dual chamber IV bags are a very specific kind of IV bag, but they can still be divided into different types, based on their size and design. EVA dual chamber IV bags, for example, are a type of dual chamber IV bag made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a strong and flexible material. There are also legless dual chamber bags and other varieties.
Dual Chamber IV Bag Uses
