Secondary IV Tubing - Reliable Piggyback Sets for Intermittent Medications
Secondary IV administration sets are designed for piggyback infusions, allowing clinicians to deliver additional medications through an active primary line without interrupting the main fluid therapy. These sets provide consistent flow performance and support antibiotic, hydration, and medication protocols across hospitals, infusion centers, emergency departments, and long-term care facilities.
We supply secondary IV tubing from leading manufacturers including Amsino, Alaris, BD, B Braun, Baxter, ICU Medical, Medline, and other trusted clinical brands. All sets are available in case quantities, ship quickly, and offer vented or non-vented configurations, low-priming volumes, and compatibility with modern needle-free systems (Clave, ULTRASITE, Safeline, Clearlink, Interlink).
