No product defined
No product defined in this category.
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.

- 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.
