Your Trusted Canadian Source: EMRN Medical Supplies

Intravenous (IV) therapy is a cornerstone of modern healthcare, enabling efficient delivery of fluids, medications, nutrition, and blood products. Selecting the right IV administration sets, IV catheters, needle-free connectors, and related supplies is critical for safety, accuracy, and workflow efficiency.

At EMRN.ca, we supply a complete range of IV products trusted across Canadian hospitals, EMS, long-term care, nursing clinics, and home-care environments. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of IV supplies and includes direct links to the equipment healthcare professionals rely on every day.

What Are IV Administration Sets?

IV administration sets are sterile, single-use tubing systems designed to deliver fluids and medications directly into a patient’s bloodstream. They are essential for:

• Accurate infusion rates

• Safe medication delivery

• Closed-system protection

• Pump-based or gravity-based infusion

• Reducing contamination and needlestick risks

Administration sets typically include tubing, a drip chamber, roller clamp, ports, and other components depending on the model.
