Product Description: Normal Saline

Normal Saline, often referred to as isotonic saline or 0.9% sodium chloride solution, is a clear, colorless, sterile solution that is isotonic with blood and is a fundamental component in medical treatments. It is essential in numerous medical settings, predominantly used for fluid replacement, electrolyte balance, and as a diluent for other medications. The balanced concentration of sodium chloride in water matches the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid in the human body, which makes it suitable for various medical applications.

Key Features and Benefits

Isotonic Solution

Normal Saline is an isotonic solution, meaning its osmolarity closely matches that of the body's extracellular fluid. This makes it an ideal choice for intravenous administration as it does not cause fluid shifts between the intracellular and extracellular compartments.

Versatile Medical Applications

Normal Saline is highly versatile, with applications ranging from routine hydration therapy to critical care interventions. It is commonly used for: - Fluid and electrolyte replenishment - Medication dilution and intravenous drug delivery - Wound irrigation and cleansing - Blood transfusions as a diluent or carrier solution

High Standards of Production

Manufactured in a WHO-GMP certified facility, Normal Saline by Infinity Pharma meets the highest quality standards. Our process ensures sterility and pyrogen-free nature of the product, maintaining its safety and efficacy for patient care.

Optimal Packaging

We offer a wide range of packaging solutions designed to meet different clinical needs and settings. Flexible IV bags and rigid bottles provide healthcare professionals with convenient options to administer the solution effectively.

Medical Indications and Uses

Fluid Replacement Therapy

Normal Saline is frequently used in clinical settings for the treatment of dehydration, both mild and severe. It helps restore fluid balance in the body, especially in cases of vomiting, diarrhea, or hemorrhage.

Electrolyte Replenishment

Due to its sodium chloride content, Normal Saline is particularly effective in replenishing lost electrolytes in patients with electrolyte imbalance, thereby stabilizing the physiological functions.

Intravenous Drug Administration

This IV fluid serves as an excellent medium for dissolving and administering medications intravenously. Its compatibility with a wide range of pharmaceuticals makes it a staple in the dilution and delivery of drugs.

Surgical and Wound Care

Normal Saline is extensively used for irrigation and cleansing during surgical procedures to prevent infection and ensure a sterile environment. It is also employed for wound cleaning and dressing, aiding in faster healing.

Blood Transfusions

In the context of blood transfusions, Normal Saline helps in maintaining the transfusion process' integrity and efficacy. It is used to prime the transfusion set and as a compatible carrier fluid during the procedure.

Advanced Manufacturing Process

Infinity Pharma leverages advanced manufacturing techniques adhering to WHO-GMP standards to produce Normal Saline. This involves state-of-the-art facilities equipped with advanced automation and quality control systems to ensure the consistency and sterility of the product.

Quality Control

Our rigorous quality control protocols include: - Raw material inspection - In-process quality checks - Final product testing for sterility and pyrogen levels - Shelf-life stability tests

With these stringent measures, we ensure that each unit of Normal Saline released from our facility is safe for intravenous administration.

Sterility Assurance

We adopt aseptic processing practices, validated sterilization methods (such as autoclaving), and contamination avoidance techniques throughout the production chain.

Storage and Shelf Life

Normal Saline should be stored at controlled room temperatures, away from direct light and freezing conditions to preserve its stability. The typical shelf life of our Normal Saline solutions ranges from 24 to 36 months, ensuring long-term usability and safety.
