An insertion set system includes a base configured to be secured to a patient, and a flexible tubing on the base. The flexible tubing has a distal end portion forming a cannula to be inserted into the patient. An inserter having a needle is received by the base. The needle has a channel in which the distal end portion of the flexible tubing is received. The needle is able to slide relative to the flexible tubing, to selectively withdraw the needle off of the distal end portion of the flexible tubing. The base may include a passage for fluid flow arranged transverse to the axial dimension of the distal end portion of the flexible tubing.

A connector device for gastric calibration hoses, including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. A first connector is disposed at the first end and a second connector is disposed at the second end. The first and the second connector are connected with each other via a fluid channel. The first connector includes a first tapering cavity sized and shaped to receive and couple with a gastric calibration hose. The second connector includes a second tapering cavity and a tapering recess annularly surrounding the second tapering cavity. The second tapering cavity and the tapering recess are sized and shaped to alternatively couple with different medical devices by receiving therein tubular structures of the different medical devices.

An intravenous (IV) line set includes a tubing defining a fluid lumen, and first and second connectors attached at opposite ends of the tubing. The tubing is adapted to be formed into a shape and retain the formed shape. In an embodiment, the shape is retained via one or more malleable filaments extending along a length of the tubing. In another embodiment, the shape is retained via magnets.
