Key Features & Clinical Applications
-
Excel® Environmental Technology: The biologically inert plastic bag eliminates the use of PVC or DEHP, removing the risk of toxic plasticizer leaching into the medication.
-
Isotonic Formulation: Matches standard human plasma osmolarity (308 mOsmol/L) with a specific gravity of 1.006, protecting red blood cells from osmotic stress during quick fluid expansion.
-
Dual Port Architecture: Outfitted with dedicated, independent ports for additive injection and administration set spike insertion to simplify clinical compounding.
-
Clear Visualization: The transparent polyolefin envelope allows for immediate visual inspection of potential particulate matter or drug color changes prior to administration.
-
Clinical Use: Indicated for extracellular fluid replacement, mild sodium depletion, metabolic alkalosis due to fluid loss, and general vascular access maintenance.
