Sep 11 2020 Gravity infusion rates can be set in drops per minute which will equate to the milliliter per hour infusion rate. One example of gravity tubing is our dial a flow tubing. With gravity infusion the bag is hung on a pole above the patient and gravity creates the pressure required to deliver the medication.
The blue Wing Valve component at the top end of the inline drip chamber is used to prepare fill and simply aerate and ventilate the whole infusion set whilst medication is being administered. The inline drip chamber no longer has to be pumped and thus handling of the administration is made considerably quicker and simpler.
