Hemalb Infusion

Product Introduction

Hemalb Infusion is a sterile, purified solution of human albumin, a crucial plasma protein essential for maintaining blood volume and fluid balance. It is derived from human plasma and undergoes strict processing to ensure its safety and efficacy. Albumin 20% is a concentrated form of albumin, often used in medical settings to restore blood volume, manage severe fluid loss, and support patients with critical conditions like liver disease, kidney failure, or severe burns.

This infusion plays a vital role in maintaining oncotic pressure, preventing fluid leakage from blood vessels into surrounding tissues, and aiding in proper circulation. Due to its significant benefits, it is commonly used in emergency and intensive care settings. Hemalb Infusion is administered under the supervision of healthcare professionals, ensuring controlled and effective treatment.
