MEDICA 2026 | 16–19 November 2026 | Hall 6, Stall F37 | Düsseldorf, Germany
Factory-direct medical disposables compliant with CE, ISO 13485:2016, and US FDA requirements for hospital networks, surgical hubs, and veterinary critical care.
As the Pacific Northwest's primary biomedical and clinical care epicenter, the Greater Seattle metropolitan area—encompassing top-tier health systems like UW Medicine, Swedish Health Services, Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center—operates under stringent infection control, safety, and fluid dynamics standards. In high-acuity environments ranging from adult Level I trauma suites to specialized outpatient oncology centers, the vascular extension line is no longer viewed as a simple plastic conduit. It is a critical, pressure-rated interface engineered to maintain line sterility, reduce mechanical phlebitis, eliminate hazardous drug sorption, and prevent catheter displacement.
As a specialized global manufacturer with two decades of medical disposable production expertise, Lars Medicare delivers direct-from-factory OEM/ODM solutions tailored specifically for North American healthcare distributors, hospital purchasing consortia (GPOs), and contract packaging partners serving Washington State. By integrating in-house tool room precision, Class 100,000 (ISO Class 8) cleanroom assembly, automated 100% hydrostatic leak testing, and verified ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization, our IV extension sets fulfill the exact technical, mechanical, and regulatory demands of Seattle’s modern medical facilities.

Seattle is globally recognized for cancer research and cell therapy. Cytotoxic antineoplastic agents and photosensitive biological infusions demand specialized extension sets. Lars Medicare manufactures light-resistant amber extension lines that block harmful ultraviolet wavelengths (290–450 nm) while maintaining optical clarity for fluid inspection. Utilizing co-extruded Polyethylene (PE) inner linings ensures zero absorption/adsorption of paclitaxel, insulin, or nitroglycerin, maintaining exact dosage fidelity.
In NICU and PICU settings, fluid overload is a primary clinical risk. Microbore extension lines engineered with inner diameters as small as 1.0 mm yield low residual priming volumes (< 0.1 mL), preventing accidental bolus delivery during line flushes. Furthermore, our 100% DEHP-free, phthalate-free, and latex-free polyurethane (TPU) formulations protect vulnerable pediatric endocrine systems from toxic plasticizer leaching.
During rapid trauma resuscitation, high-volume fluid warmers and power injectors generate elevated fluid pressures. Lars Medicare’s pressure-rated extension sets incorporate sonic-welded, lipid-resistant polycarbonate Luer connectors that resist stress-cracking under pressures up to 300–450 PSI. Double-swivel male Luer locks prevent line twisting, enabling seamless movement during critical patient transport between trauma bays and surgical theaters.
Seattle’s expanding home healthcare sector requires intuitive, robust extension lines for patient self-administration. Our extension lines feature integrated needleless injection valves (split-septum technology) with positive/neutral displacement. This minimizes catheter occlusion risk, allows sterile needle-free flushing, and reduces bloodstream infection (CRBSI) potential in homecare environments across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties.
Diagnostic imaging departments require specialized high-pressure contrast media injector extension lines. Lars Medicare manufactures high-tensile, polyurethane-braided extension tubing capable of withstanding dynamic burst pressures up to 1,200 PSI. Precision ISO 80369-7 Luer locks ensure zero disconnect or leakage under rapid power-injection speeds (up to 10 mL/sec).
Serving the Pacific Northwest's extensive veterinary clinical sector, our butterfly extension lines and animal-specific IV tubing feature reinforced walls to resist accidental biting, clawing, or mechanical kinking. Color-coded gauge sizing allows instant identification during high-stress emergency operations.
Procurement directors and clinical supply chain executives across the Pacific Northwest face evolving regulatory frameworks. Understanding these shifts is vital for choosing an OEM manufacturing partner whose quality management system (QMS) stays ahead of compliance curves:
Washington State environmental health directives and US FDA safety communications strongly advocate eliminating DEHP [Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate] in medical devices coming into contact with blood or lipid formulations. Lars Medicare utilizes alternative, non-toxic plasticizers such as TOTM (Tri-Octyl Trimellitate) and medical-grade Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). Every lot undergoes GC-MS leachability validation, providing complete compliance documentation for hospital safety committees.
To prevent catastrophic misconnections between intravascular systems, enteral feeding lines, and neuraxial devices, rigid enforcement of ISO 80369-7 connector standards is now universal across US health systems. Lars Medicare’s Luer locks are molded in-house using high-rigidity polycarbonate, verified by mechanical gauge testing for dimensional geometry, removal torque, and resistance to axial separation.
Compounding pharmacies and outpatient cancer centers in Seattle strictly observe USP <797> and USP <800> standards for handling hazardous drugs. Our closed-system extension lines, fitted with bonded needleless valves and non-vented secondary tubing, establish leak-tight containment that shields clinicians and compounding technicians from aerosolized chemical exposure.
Operating from our integrated manufacturing plant in Sonepat, India, and supported by our North American corporate operations in Milton, Ontario, Lars Medicare bridges the gap between competitive offshore manufacturing economics and uncompromising Western regulatory oversight:
Every shipment of IV extension lines is backed by full technical dossiers including ISO 13485:2016 quality management system certification, CE mark certificates (MDR 2017/745 aligned), EC Declaration of Conformity, ISO 10993 biocompatibility test protocols (cytotoxicity, sensitization, systemic toxicity), EO sterilization validation reports (ISO 11135), and lot-specific Certificates of Analysis (CoA). We fully support our North American partners through US FDA 510(k) filing pathways and GPO master vendor registration.
Ocean freight consignments dispatch directly from Nhava Sheva or Mundra ports, routing straight into the Northwest Seaport Alliance (Port of Seattle / Port of Tacoma) with an average transit time of 28 to 34 days. For urgent clinical demands, expedited air freight via Delhi (DEL) to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) delivers within 4 to 6 business days. Customs clearance documentation (Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin) is processed seamlessly through our regional logistics desk.
Yes. Our extension lines feature standard ISO 80369-7 compliant male and female Luer lock connectors engineered to seamlessly connect with all standard IV catheters, dedicated pump administration sets, syringe pumps, needleless valves, and blood warmers without risk of fluid leakage, thread binding, or pressure occlusion.
Absolutely. As a direct factory manufacturer, custom OEM engineering is our core strength. We routinely produce custom tubing lengths (ranging from 5 cm up to 300 cm), varying inner diameters (microbore 1.0mm, standard bore 3.0mm, high-pressure 1.5mm), and integrated attachments such as 3-way stopcocks, removable/bonded needleless connectors, back-check valves, and slide clamps under your proprietary brand label.
We compound our tubing using premium medical-grade resin blended with non-phthalate plasticizers such as TOTM (Tri-Octyl Trimellitate) or pure Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). Raw materials undergo stringent incoming Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) screening to guarantee absolute absence of DEHP, DBP, BBP, or DINP plasticizers, making them fully compliant with California Proposition 65 and Washington State environmental safety regulations.
For standard neutral-pack catalogue items, orders can begin at a single mixed pallet (consolidated shipment). For specialized private-label OEM programs involving custom pouch printing, customized IFUs, and specific gauge/bore mixes, the typical MOQ ranges between 10,000 to 30,000 units per SKU depending on tooling and packaging specifications.
Devices should be stored in a clean, dry, well-ventilated warehouse facility at controlled room temperatures (15°C to 30°C / 59°F to 86°F) and relative humidity below 65%, away from direct sunlight, chemical vapors, and moisture. Individual Tyvek/Film pouches must remain intact until immediate clinical use.
