B. Braun veterinary consumables and a practical guide to IV purchasing

Ordering IV consumables should be straightforward. In practice, similar product names, different connectors and several pump systems can make choosing the right line more time consuming than expected. A clear purchasing list helps your team reorder confidently and avoid discovering a mismatch when supplies arrive.

At DMS Veterinary, we supply B. Braun products across IV administration sets, extension sets and IV cannulas. If your practice already uses B. Braun, we can help you find the listed products and product information you need before ordering.

Start with the equipment your team uses

Before adding an administration set to your order, record the exact pump model where one is used. A general administration set and a set intended for a particular pump are different purchasing decisions. Check the manufacturer’s compatibility information rather than relying on the brand name alone.

Our catalogue includes separate B. Braun general administration set and Space administration set categories. Keeping the relevant product codes against each piece of equipment can make future orders easier for whoever is responsible for stock.

Check the details that distinguish similar products

For extension lines, review the length, connector types, priming volume and any stated pressure limits. For cannulas, confirm the required gauge and the exact product variant selected by your clinical team. A familiar photograph is useful, but the specification and product code should lead the decision.

When replacing an established item, keep a record of the current manufacturer reference. Share that reference with us, together with the intended equipment, so we can help locate the product information. Your clinical team should confirm suitability before introducing a different item.

Review the whole IV stock list

It is easy to remember the main administration set and overlook a regularly used connector or extension. Review the consumables your team actually uses together and give each a clear place on the stock list. This is a purchasing check, with product selection and clinical use remaining with your veterinary team.

Include pack quantities and typical usage in your ordering notes. Comparing the price of a box with the price of an individual item can otherwise give a misleading impression of value.

Speak to a supplier when you need a hand

Sometimes the most useful next step is a conversation. If you are unsure which listing matches the B. Braun item you normally order, send us the product code or call our team. We can help you navigate the range and check current availability.
