NS 100ML 0.9% GLASS 1X100

About

0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, commonly known as Normal Saline (NS), is an isotonic solution containing 9 grams of sodium chloride per liter of sterile water. It is a fundamental intravenous fluid used extensively in clinical settings to restore fluid and electrolyte balance. Its isotonicity means it has a similar osmotic pressure to human blood plasma, preventing significant fluid shifts into or out of cells when administered. This makes it suitable for a wide range of medical applications, from rehydration to medication dilution.

The solution is crucial for patients experiencing dehydration, hypovolemia, or those requiring a vehicle for intravenous drug administration. It helps maintain the extracellular fluid volume, supports renal function, and is essential in managing various medical and surgical conditions where fluid replacement is necessary. The glass bottle presentation ensures sterility and stability of the solution, making it a reliable choice for critical care and routine medical procedures.
