I use Atlantic Medical supplies, as they're reliable and responsive. You do NOT want to go cheap with medical supplies. You'll at most save a couple bucks but you could seriously, seriously hurt yourself. What you need to order for one infusion is:A catheter/needle. I like using 20g but that's quite a big needle. 22g is comfortable but takes longer.A cannula/IV line. Don't get one that's too long, as gravity is the primary way the liquid is infused.Saline/Dextrose, any size. I order Dex, 1000 mL, but everyone has different preferences! Currently, there's a national shortage, so it's hard to acquire any, but we're patient for a restock.All that is ordered! And now, we wait...
