Features
- EXCEL® Container Design:
- A flexible plastic bag made from a multilayered film that is biologically inert
- Safe Materials:
- The container is not made with natural rubber latex, PVC, or DEHP, eliminating the risk of plasticizer toxicity and latex allergies
- Isotonic Formulation:
- The concentration of 0.9 g of Sodium Chloride per 100 mL closely matches the body's natural osmolarity (approximately 308mOsmol/L)
- Purity:
- Sterile and nonpyrogenic, containing no bacteriostatic agents, antimicrobial agents, or added buffers
- Physical Properties:
- Features a specific gravity of 1.006 and is designed for single-dose use
Benefits
- Enhanced Patient Safety:
- By being PVC-free and DEHP-free, it prevents the leaching of toxic chemicals into the solution, which is critical for protecting vulnerable patients such as neonates
- Closed System:
- The bag does not require external air for administration, which significantly reduces the risk of airborne contamination
- Reliable Stability:
- Features a long-term shelf life (approximately 30 months) and remains stable even after brief exposure to temperatures up to 40°C
