Bethlehem, Pa.-based B. Braun Medical Inc., which makes infusion therapy and pain management products, has launched 3L Lactated Ringers for Irrigation. This launch completes the company’s Titan XL line of large-volume, flexible irrigation containers, which now includes 2L and 3L sterile water for irrigation and 0.9 percent Sodium Chloride for Irrigation and 3L 1.5 percent glycine for irrigation USP (United States Pharmacopoeia). With this additional Titan XL container, B.Braun further expands its line of solution containers that are not made with natural rubber latex, DEHP (a plasticizer and known toxicant) or PVC (a likely carcinogen when incinerated). Exposure to these toxic materials has been a growing concern for healthcare facilities around the world. Studies show that excessive exposure to DEHP potentially can lead to adverse health effects, especially to a patient’s liver, kidneys and lungs, as well as their heart rate and blood pressure. The Titan XL containers offer irrigation solutions in large-volume, flexible bags. The containers are made from a multilayered film specifically developed for parenteral drugs. The port system allows for easy access and provides a tamper-evident injection site, presenting clinicians with visual evidence of medication addition. Titan XL containers are highly transparent for quick and accurate volume monitoring.
