Description
Hep-Lock Flush MDV 500U/5mL is a sterile solution containing heparin sodium, used as a lock solution to maintain patency of intravenous catheters and access devices. Each 5mL vial contains 500 units of heparin, designed for use in medical settings to prevent the formation of blood clots within catheter systems.
Heparin, the active ingredient in Hep-Lock Flush, is an anticoagulant that works by inhibiting thrombin and other clotting factors in the coagulation cascade. By preventing clot formation, heparin ensures that intravenous catheters remain open, reducing the risk of occlusion and maintaining access for ongoing treatments such as drug infusions, blood draws, or dialysis.
Hep-Lock Flush is typically utilized in clinical environments where patients require long-term vascular access. It is essential for ensuring proper function of central venous catheters, peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines), and other types of vascular access devices. It is not intended for therapeutic anticoagulation but rather for catheter maintenance.
