$74.95

Description

Hypotonic Solution: The 0.45% concentration of sodium chloride makes it a hypotonic solution. This means it has a lower concentration of salt than the body's fluids.
EXCEL® Plus IV Container: The solution is packaged in a container that is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP. This is a significant safety feature, as DEHP is a plasticizer that can leach into solutions and may pose health risks, particularly to vulnerable patients.
Sterile and Nonpyrogenic: The solution is sterile and nonpyrogenic, meaning it is free from bacteria and substances that can cause fever.
Closed System: The container is a closed system, which helps to reduce the risk of microbial and chemical contamination during administration.
Long Shelf Life: The product typically has a 30-month shelf life.
Preservative-Free: It contains no bacteriostatic or antimicrobial agents.

Hydration: The primary use of this solution is to provide water for hydration to both adult and pediatric patients.
Electrolyte Source: It serves as a source of electrolytes, specifically sodium and chloride, to help maintain fluid balance.
Assessing Kidney Status: Because it provides more water than is needed for salt excretion, it may be used to assess the status of the kidneys.
Treatment of Hyperosmolar Diabetes: It can be used in the treatment of hyperosmolar diabetes in situations where the use of dextrose is not advisable and a large amount of fluid is needed without an excess of sodium ions.
Drug Diluent: It is also used as a pharmaceutic aid and diluent for the infusion of compatible drug additives.
