Size
The tubing size impacts priming volume and fluid flow:
- Microbore (<2 mm) is recommended for low volume infusions; usually preferred in Pediatrics.
- Macrobore (>2 mm) can deliver large volume infusions in a short time; usually preferred in the Emergency Department and adult care areas.

- Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and non-PVC tubing options, including:
- PVC (non-DEHP) - PU (polyurethane) - PE (polyethylene) - PE lined (PE/PVC) - Low sorbing (inner layer of PE and outer layer of PVC) - TPE (thermoplastic elastomers (consult specific SKU for specification).
