An intravenous delivery system may have a liquid source containing a liquid, tubing, and an anti-run-dry membrane positioned such that the liquid, flowing form the liquid source to the tubing, passes through the anti-run-dry membrane. The anti-run-dry membrane may be positioned within an exterior wall of a drip unit, and may be secured to a seat of the exterior wall by an attachment component. The attachment component may have various forms, such as a secondary exterior wall that cooperates with the exterior wall to define a drip chamber, a washer positioned such that the anti-run-dry membrane is between the washer and the seat, and an adhesive ring formed of a pressure sensitive adhesive and secured to the anti-run-dry membrane and the seat via compression. Interference features may protrude inward from the exterior wall or outward from the anti-run-dry membrane to help keep the anti-run-dry membrane in place.

The invention relates to an insulation element, in particular for the acoustic insulation of an opening and/or of a cavity in a vehicle or building, having a carrier element and an expendable material. The carrier element has a plurality of through-holes, wherein only one surface of the carrier element is covered at least partially with expandable material, and the expandable material at least partially fills the through-holes. The invention relates furthermore to an insulation element produced therefrom, the use of the same and a method for the acoustic insulation and/or reinforcement of an opening or a cavity in a land, air or water vehicle or in a building.
