- Used as a source of calories and water for hydration used for intravenous administration in both adult and pediatric patients
Uses
- Hydration therapy:
- Providing fluid replacement for dehydrated patients when oral consumption is inadequate
- Caloric supplementation:
- Supplying a source of carbohydrates (glucose) for energy support, which helps decrease body protein and nitrogen losses and prevents ketosis
- Intravenous feeding:
- Part of a nutritional regimen for patients who are unable to eat or drink sufficiently
- Medication dilution:
- Serving as a sterile diluent for the administration of compatible intravenous drugs (using aseptic technique)
Features
- 10% Dextrose Concentration:
- A more concentrated glucose solution compared to the common 5% dextrose, offering higher caloric delivery
- Sterile and Nonpyrogenic:
- Manufactured to stringent USP standards to ensure safety for intravenous use
- Additive-Free:
- Contains no bacteriostatic, antimicrobial agents, or preservatives, reducing the risk of adverse reactions
-
EXCEL® IV Container:
- A closed system flexible plastic bag designed for safety and convenience
- It is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP (a plasticizer), which eliminates the risk of plasticizer toxicity and minimizes exposure to potentially harmful substances
- The container has a specific gravity of 1.034
-
Compatibility:
- The container closure system features two ports, one for the administration set and another as a medication addition site
Benefits
- Patient Safety:
- The non-PVC, non-DEHP container minimizes the risk of harmful chemical exposure. The sterile, additive-free formula reduces the likelihood of adverse patient reactions
- Efficient Hydration & Energy:
- Provides a rapid and effective method for delivering both essential fluids and calories to patients in acute care situations, after surgery, or trauma
- Environmental Responsibility:
- The EXCEL container design supports environmentally conscious healthcare practices
- Clinical Efficacy:
- Dextrose is readily metabolized by the body, promoting glycogen deposition and decreasing or preventing ketosis
