Abstract
Flow-through chambers, such as drip or expansion chambers, which are intended to form part of a duct for blood or other such sensitive fluids, are disclosed. The chambers include a housing, an inlet, an outlet, and a flow directing portion of the housing for directing the flow of the fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The flow directing portion of the housing is formed in a manner so as to deflect the flow of the fluid from the inlet towards the outlet in a gradual manner so as to protect the fluid within the chamber.
