What Is an IV Kit?
An IV kit, as the name implies, is a set of medical components, accessories, and items used for setting up an intravenous (IV) line. These kits are used in many hospitals worldwide to provide patients with fluids, medications, blood, and more.
The contents of IV kits can vary, but they often contain almost all the items you need to start up an IV line, including a tourniquet, gauze, tape, antiseptic wipes, medical gloves, and more. All of the items are sterile and ready to use upon arrival, but these kits do not usually contain catheters, tubes, or IV bags, which are all sold separately.
IV kits are used for infusion therapy, which is a way of delivering medications and fluids into a patient's body directly via the blood vessels, rather than orally or via other methods. This kind of treatment is usually carried out for patients who have long-term illnesses or those undergoing operations.

How Does an IV Kit Work?
An IV kit gives you many of the components you need to start preparing an IV line, and each item has its own purpose and use. Medical gloves are included in many kits to keep the procedure clean and sanitary, for example, and pieces of tap may also be found in kits to help attach the IV line or cannula to the patient's body. Kits often contain gauge, wipes, and other essentials, too. These items can all be used to get an IV line ready before it is connected to an IV bag and inserted into a patient’s body to deliver fluids and drugs.
Intravenous Kit Sizes
IV kits can vary in size in terms of the quantity of contents they come with. Some IV kits are quite small and will only provide a few basic items for assisting in IV line preparation, while other kits are much larger and may contain over a dozen different accessories for IV therapy.
Intravenous Kit Types
We can divide IV kits into different types based on their contents. There are basic IV preparation kits that come with wipes, gloves, and gauze, as well as more comprehensive IV kits which come with needles, cannulas, gloves, tourniquet, pieces of tape, and many other items.
Intravenous Kit Uses
IV kits are used for setting up IV lines and administering IV fluids and medications. They’re commonly used to restore a patient’s fluid levels when they are suffering from water loss or dehydration, for example. They’re also used for delivering blood to patients who are undergoing surgery, as well as for the administration of medications.

C. R. Bard, Smiths Medical, and Medical Action Industries are some of the top suppliers of IV kits.
