Perfadex Plus

Perfadex Plus

Perfadex Plus is an extracellular, low potassium, dextran-based electrolyte preservation solution for rapid cooling, perfusion and cold static storage of donor lungs – pre-supplemented with calcium ions and THAM so that it is ready to use whenever you need it.

Perfadex Plus – a new solution for optimal cold static preservation of donor lungs

• Strong, reinforced hanger – for safety and convenience.
• New double, twist-off sterile ports – are easy to grip and easy to open. As an added safety feature, you can also see clearly whether the bag has been tampered or if the sterility barrier has been broken through the ports.
• Ports are made of stronger plastic – no risk of perforating the bag during injection.

Perfadex Plus is indicated for the flushing, cold static storage and transportation of isolated lungs after removal from the donor in preparation for eventual transplantation into a recipient. The colloid component, dextran 40, particularly protects the microvasculature against post-ischemic reperfusion injury, primarily by preventing pathological leukocyte-endothelial interaction.12,13 It also prevents edema formation during preservation
