Abstract
An infusion flow regulator includes: a main body having an inlet through which fluid is introduced and an outlet through which the fluid is discharged; and a rotary dial rotatably coupled to the main body, with a sealing member interposed therebetween, so as to regulate a flow rate of the fluid, in which the rotary dial includes a regulating flow path having a shape of a recessed groove in cross section with a first width and a first height, and the regulating flow path includes a first region in which the first width is constant and the first height is decreased, and a second region in which both the first width and the first height are decreased. By the aforementioned configuration, the infusion flow regulator for the fluid can accurately regulate the flow rate even in a region where the flow rate of the fluid is very small.
