IV Administration Sets — Product Overview

Bridge IV Administration Sets provide the critical fluid path between the IV solution container and the patient's venous access device. These gravity infusion sets — commonly referred to as 'tubing' — are available in macrodrip and microdrip configurations to meet the full range of outpatient, wellness, and in-home infusion needs.

All Bridge IV administration sets are manufactured to meet rigorous quality standards: individually packaged, sterile, non-pyrogenic, and not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP. The tubing is medical-grade PVC, and every set features a rotary male Luer lock connector for secure attachment to catheter hubs and extension sets.

The product line is organized by three drop factors: 10 gtt/mL (macrodrip, large drops), 15 gtt/mL (macrodrip, medium drops), and 60 gtt/mL (microdrip, fine drops). Each drop factor is color-coded on the packaging for instant identification in clinical settings — preventing wrong-set errors during high-volume workflows.

Standard configurations include non-vented drip chambers (designed for flexible collapsible bags like Fleboflex), roller clamps for flow rate adjustment, Y-site injection ports (split septum or needleless PRN), and rotary male Luer lock connectors. Extended variants include pre-attached 6-inch extension sets, back-check valves, flow regulators, and stopcocks.

Bridge recommends standardizing on a single drop factor across your practice for consistency — with 15 gtt/mL being the most versatile choice for non-acute settings. This module series covers the full product catalog, drop factor science, flow rate calculations, and clinical best practices.
