Our 10 drop primary IV sets are designed for reliable macrodrip infusions where volume accuracy and clear drip visualization matter. These primary lines support a wide range of therapies, from maintenance fluids and antibiotics to blood products and high-volume hydration.
You’ll find gravity and pump-compatible 10 gtt/mL primary IV sets with options for backcheck valves, needle-free Y-sites, in-line filters, long tubing lengths, and specialized configurations for critical care, anesthesia, and blood administration.
All sets are sterile, non-pyrogenic, and available in DEHP-free configurations, supplied in case quantities to support hospital units, outpatient centers, and long-term care facilities with consistent supply and value.
What You Can Order in This Category
Within the 10 drop primary IV sets category, you can select:
- Standard 10 Drop Primary Administration Sets — General-purpose macrodrip sets for routine IV therapy, compatible with most primary infusion pumps.
- Pump-Optimized 10 Drop Sets — Administration sets designed for use with volumetric pumps, featuring pump keys, specific priming volumes, and secure luer connections.
- 10 Drop Sets with Needle-Free Y-Sites — Primary lines with integrated needle-free access points for secondary medications, flushes, and sampling without breaking the line.
- Filtered 10 Drop Primary Sets — Sets with in-line 0.22 or 1.2 micron filters to support medication, TPN, or specialty drug delivery where filtration is required.
- Blood Administration Sets (10 Drop) — Macrodrip primary lines with blood filters and Y-type configurations for safe transfusion of blood and blood components.
- Extended-Length 10 Drop Sets — Primary tubing in longer lengths to accommodate pumps positioned off-bed, multi-pump setups, and complex bedside environments.
Technical Specifications Available
Key technical options across 10 drop primary IV sets include:
- Drip Rate: 10 drops/mL macrodrip for clear visual drip counting and controlled flow.
- Tubing Lengths: Approximately 72 to 134 inches and beyond, supporting a variety of bedside and pump configurations.
- Priming Volumes: Typical ranges from about 14 mL to 22 mL or more, depending on length, filter use, and number of ports.
- Connectors: Male luer lock or locking cannula designs with rotating luer options for secure, tangle-free connections.
- Access Sites: Options for standard Y-sites, pre-pierced Y-sites, and needle-free valves to support closed-system medication delivery.
- Valves & Safety Features: Backcheck valves, flow regulators, roller and slide clamps, and anti-free-flow features on pump-compatible sets.
- Materials: Non-DEHP and latex-free formulations available to support current facility protocols and patient sensitivities.
Where 10 Drop Primary IV Sets Are Used
10 drop primary IV sets are widely used across:
- Hospital Units: Med-surg, telemetry, step-down, ICU/CCU, and emergency departments for primary fluid and drug infusions.
- Infusion Centers: Antibiotics, biologics, chemo adjuncts (per protocol), and hydration therapy.
- Perioperative and Anesthesia: Controlled fluid administration in pre-op, operating room, and PACU settings.
- Oncology and Specialty Clinics: Supportive therapies where macrodrip sets are preferred.
- Long-Term and Post-Acute Care: Ongoing hydration and maintenance IV therapies using pump or gravity systems.
These macrodrip primary lines support both pump-driven and gravity-based infusions, helping clinicians achieve predictable flow rates and dependable drug delivery in busy clinical environments.
