The drop factor differs (# of gtts/mL). A set that delivers large drops per mL (10-20 gtt/ml, usually 15) is called macrodrip set. One uses smaller gtts (60gtt/mL) is called microdrip. Usually the macrodrip set is used if the IV rate is to infuse > 100ml/hr. Vice versa, Microdrip < 100ml/hr volume. Here is the drip rate calculation: Volume (mL)/ time (min) x drip factor= gtt/min ranges 30-100 gtt/min.

What micro and macro irrigation?
Macro and micro irrigation entails the use of mini sprinklers couple to a PVC hose. These systems can be comprised of drip hoses and mist sprayers, with quite a variety of areas covered - 90, 180, and 360 degrees can be be covered. These micro sprayers can spray downward and upward. I prefer the upward type as they do tend to cover a wider area. The spray nozzles are color-coded and the area covered are printed on the package. They come in sets of 5, and are inexpensive. I'd consider the biggest investment in installing macro irrigation being the labor involved.
