A veterinary infusion set is a sterile, single-use IV administration line used to deliver fluids, electrolytes, or medication to dogs, cats, and other companion or production animals.
This screw luer-lock infusion set threads securely onto the animal’s IV catheter or needle instead of relying on a plain slip-fit connection, which reduces the risk of the line loosening or leaking mid-treatment a common issue when a patient is restless, being transported, or handled by more than one staff member during a drip.
Why Choose This Veterinary IV Infusion Set
Secure Screw-Type Connection
The screw (luer-lock style) mouth threads onto the needle or catheter hub and locks in place, so the line stays connected under normal movement. This is especially useful in veterinary practice, where patients cannot be asked to stay still.
Accurate, Consistent Drip Control
A calibrated drip chamber delivers a standard macrodrip rate of 20 drops per mL, and an inline roller clamp lets veterinary staff fine-tune flow rate by hand from a slow maintenance drip to a faster bolus rate without additional equipment.
Single-Use Sterile Safety
Each set is sterilised with ethylene oxide (EO), individually pouched, and manufactured from non-toxic, non-pyrogenic medical-grade PVC. Sets are intended for single use and should be discarded after one treatment to maintain sterility and reduce cross-contamination risk between patients.

How to Set Up the Infusion Set
- Close the roller clamp before inserting the spike into the fluid container.
- Remove the protective cover from the spike and insert it fully into the fluid bag or bottle port.
- Hang the fluid container and gently squeeze the drip chamber until it is roughly half full.
- Open the roller clamp briefly to prime the tubing and expel air bubbles, then close it again.
- Connect the screw-type connector to the animal’s IV catheter or needle and tighten.
- Open the roller clamp and adjust the drip rate to the treatment plan.
- Discard the complete set after single use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a veterinary infusion set used for?
A veterinary infusion set delivers IV fluids, electrolytes, or medication from a fluid bag or bottle into an animal’s bloodstream via an IV catheter or needle, at a controlled drip rate.
What does “screw mouth” mean on an infusion set?
“Screw mouth” refers to a threaded, luer-lock style connector at the needle end of the set. It screws onto the catheter hub and locks in place, rather than relying on a plain push-fit connection.
Is this infusion set reusable?
No. It is a single-use, disposable medical device. It should be discarded after one treatment and a new sterile set used for the next patient.
What is the drip rate of this infusion set?
It is a standard macrodrip set with a drop factor of 20 drops per mL, allowing predictable calculation of infusion rates.
Which pack size should I choose 25, 50, or 75 pcs?
Smaller clinics or occasional users typically choose the 25-pack, while busy practices, mobile vets, and multi-patient facilities often choose the 50 or 75-pack to reduce reorder frequency and per-unit cost.
Is this infusion set sterile and certified?
Yes. Each set is sterilised using ethylene oxide (EO), supplied in an individually sealed pouch, and is CE marked.
