Gravity Primary IV Sets — Reliable Drip Administration for Everyday Infusions

Our Gravity Primary IV Sets provide dependable, pump-independent fluid and medication delivery for medical-surgical floors, emergency departments, critical care, oncology, pediatrics, anesthesia, and outpatient infusion. These sets support consistent drip-based therapy when a primary gravity line is needed for maintenance fluids, antibiotics, blood products, or specialty infusions.

In this category, you will find standard primary IV administration sets with fixed drip rates, needleless injection sites or Y-ports, filter-equipped lines, burette sets, blood-compatible tubing, and configurations with integrated flow regulators and stopcocks for more precise control. All sets are sterile, single-use, and available in bulk case quantities to support high-volume facilities.

What You Can Order in This Category

• Standard Gravity Primary IV Sets — General-purpose lines for routine hydration, medications, and maintenance fluids.
• Macrodrip Primary Sets (10–20 gtt/mL) — Designed for higher-flow infusions, resuscitation, and rapid volume replacement.
• Microdrip Primary Sets (60 gtt/mL) — Support finer drip control for titrated drugs, pediatrics, and low-volume therapies.
• Primary Sets with Injection Ports / Y-Sites — Allow convenient medication piggybacking and intermittent drug administration on the same line.
• Primary Sets with Built-In Filters — Help trap particulates or microbubbles for more sensitive applications.
• Blood and Blood-Compatible Primary Sets — Larger priming volumes and blood filters for transfusion and blood product administration.
• Extended-Length Primary Gravity Sets — Extra-long tubing to support flexible pump placement, ICU/OR setups, and patient mobility.
• Primary Sets with Flow Regulators and Check Valves — Incorporate mechanical flow control or back-check valves to support safer multi-line therapy.

Technical Specifications Available

Tubing and Drip Types

• Macrodrip: typically 10, 15, or 20 drops/mL for standard and high-flow infusions.
• Microdrip: 60 drops/mL for precise, low-volume control.
• Standard-bore and macro-bore tubing options for different flow requirements.
• DEHP-free and latex-free materials available to support facility safety protocols.

Lengths and Priming Volumes

• Common lengths ranging from approximately 80 inches to 150 inches or more to accommodate various clinical setups.
• Standard priming volumes designed to balance flow performance with medication conservation.
• Burette-equipped sets with measured chambers for pediatric and dose-critical infusions.

Connectors & Safety Features

• Universal or dedicated spikes compatible with common IV solution containers.
• Rotating male luer or luer slip connectors for secure access to catheters and extension sets.
• Multiple injection ports, Y-sites, and needle-free connectors for safer medication access.
• Back-check valves to help prevent backflow when multiple lines are connected.
• Roller and slide clamps, flow regulators, and stopcocks for controlled gravity infusions.
• Inline filters available on selected sets for added protection.

Where Gravity Primary IV Sets Are Used

• Hospitals: med-surg, telemetry, step-down, ER, ICU, oncology, pediatrics.
• Surgery & Anesthesia: intraoperative and perioperative fluid and medication delivery.
• Infusion Centers: routine therapies where reliable gravity drip is sufficient.
• Long-Term Care & Post-Acute: stable infusions and maintenance hydration.
• Home Infusion (as prescribed): supervised gravity-based regimens using primary sets.

Gravity primary IV sets provide a simple, reliable foundation for drip-based therapy across a wide range of clinical environments. By selecting the appropriate drip factor, tubing length, ports, and safety features, facilities can standardize primary lines while supporting both everyday and higher-acuity infusion needs.
