60 Drop Microdrip Primary IV Sets – Fine Control for Critical Infusions
No product defined
No product defined in this category.
Our 60 drop microdrip primary IV sets are designed for precise, low-volume infusion therapy where accurate titration matters. These sets support medication delivery in critical care, pediatrics, step-down units, anesthesia, and any setting that requires tight control over flow rates and drip counts.
Within this category, you’ll find microdrip primary administration sets configured for both pump and gravity use, with options that include needle-free Y-sites, backcheck valves, flow regulators, and integrated filters. Tubing lengths, priming volumes, and port configurations vary so you can match each set to your facility’s infusion protocols and equipment.
All primary IV sets are supplied sterile, with DEHP-free and latex-free options, and are available in bulk case quantities with fast U.S. shipping.
What You Can Order in This Category
- Standard 60 Drop Primary IV Sets — Microdrip administration sets for general primary infusions with roller clamp and drip chamber.
- Pump-Compatible Microdrip Sets — Primary sets designed to work with volumetric infusion pumps and backcheck valves for consistent, controlled delivery.
- Microdrip Sets with Needle-Free Y-Sites — Primary tubing with one or more needle-free access ports to support medication piggybacking and line access without needles.
- Microdrip Sets with Pre-Pierced Injection Sites — Y-sites configured for traditional spike- or needle-based access where protocols require it.
- Microdrip Sets with In-Line Filters — Primary lines that incorporate 0.2–1.2 micron filters to help reduce particulate and air during sensitive infusions.
- Short and Extra-Long Primary Sets — Tubing options ranging from compact lengths for close-to-patient setups to long sets for complex room layouts and mounting needs.
These 60 drop primary sets help clinicians fine-tune flow, standardize setups across pumps and gravity systems, and simplify line management at the bedside.
Technical Specifications Available
Drip Rate & Tubing Type
- 60 drops/mL microdrip configuration for precise, low-volume dosing.
- Standard-bore primary tubing suitable for most medications and fluids.
- Pump-compatible and gravity-only variants available.
Lengths & Priming Volumes
- Typical lengths from approximately 70 to 130 inches to support different room layouts and pump positions.
- Priming volumes generally in the low- to mid–milliliter range to reduce medication waste and support accurate dosing.
Connection & Safety Features
- Universal or dedicated bag spikes with drip chambers.
- Rotating male luer or secure-lock connectors for a stable line connection.
- Needle-free access ports, pre-pierced Y-sites, and multi-port manifolds on select sets.
- Backcheck valves for safe piggyback setups and backflow prevention.
- Integrated filters on select models and slide or roller clamps for added control.
- Many sets are DEHP-free and latex-free to support broader patient compatibility.
Where 60 Drop Microdrip Primary IV Sets Are Used
- Critical Care & Step-Down Units — Vasoactive infusions, titrated drips, and continuous medications requiring fine control.
- Pediatrics & Neonatal Care — Situations where small changes in flow can significantly affect dosing.
- Medical-Surgical & Telemetry — Maintenance fluids, antibiotics, and therapies where microdrip accuracy is preferred.
- Anesthesia & Perioperative Care — Controlled delivery of fluids and medications in the OR and PACU.
- Infusion Centers & Oncology — Drug infusions that benefit from low-volume, microdrip precision using pumps or gravity.
By standardizing on 60 drop microdrip primary IV sets, facilities can support consistent dosing, easier drip-count verification, and smoother integration between gravity setups and infusion pump workflows.
