An injection site platform for use in adding a needle-injected medication to a parenteral fluid being provided to a patient includes a base which has an outlet port of a size and shape to receive a needle-piercible resealable diaphragm. The platform consists of the base member and a port member and when these two elements are assembled together they apply a compressive holding force on the needle-piercible resealable diaphragm. The platform includes one or more sockets which are of a size and shape to hold a hypodermic needle sheath. The sockets each include a plurality of arms which are flexible so that the socket may hold difference size and shape needle sheaths.

Injection site platform

An injection site platform for use in adding a needle injected medication to a parenteral fluid being provided to a patient includes a base and an outlet port of a size and shape to receive a needle piercable resealable diaphragm. There is a conical wall which connects the outlet with the base, with the smaller diameter portion of the conical wall being integral with the outlet and the larger diameter portion terminating at the base. The conical wall provides a needle guide to the diaphragm positioned in the outlet and access for the application of an antiseptic wipe to the diaphragm. A portion of the platform has an opening for a tube carrying parenteral fluid, whereby the tube may be manually constricted by pressing it against the platform adjacent the opening.
