Sodium Chloride Injectable Solution 0.9% 500mL, 24/case

$222.95

Description

Key Features:

Composition: Contains 0.9% sodium chloride (NaCl) in water for injection, meaning each 100 mL of solution contains 900 mg of sodium chloride. This concentration is isotonic with human blood.
Volume: 500 mL flexible bag, a common volume for various medical applications.
Sterile and Non-Pyrogenic: Ensures the solution is free from microorganisms and fever-inducing substances, making it safe for intravenous infusion.
Isotonic Solution: The osmolality is approximately 308 mOsmol/L (calculated), which is similar to that of human plasma, reducing the risk of fluid shifts in cells.
Flexible Container: Typically comes in a flexible plastic container (often PVC or DEHP-containing, though PVC-free options exist for other product numbers), which is easier to store and dispose of than rigid bottles.
Clearly Labeled Graduation Marks: Allows for accurate visual monitoring of the administered volume.
Wide Medication Port (often): Many ICU Medical IV bags feature a rigid saddle and a wide injection port, designed to make it quicker and easier to add medications with a reduced risk of contamination and needle sticks.
Prescription Product: This is a prescription drug and its use should be directed by a healthcare professional.

Uses:

0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection (often called "normal saline") is a fundamental intravenous fluid with a wide range of uses, including:

Fluid and Electrolyte Replacement: Used to replenish extracellular fluid volume and maintain hydration when patients are unable to take fluids orally, or when they have lost fluids (e.g., from vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhage, or burns).
Vehicle for Medication Administration: It is commonly used as a diluent or carrier solution for the intravenous administration of many compatible medications.
Wound Irrigation: Can be used as a sterile solution for rinsing and cleaning wounds.
Maintenance of Intravenous Lines: Used as a flush to maintain patency of intravenous catheters.
Hypovolemia (Low Blood Volume): Can be administered rapidly to expand intravascular volume in cases of shock or severe dehydration.
Hyponatremia (Low Sodium Levels): Provides sodium to correct deficiencies.
Surgical Procedures: Frequently used before, during, and after surgical procedures to maintain fluid balance.
