PERFADEX® Plus perfusion solution
Perfusion solution for static storage of donor lungs at optimal temperature. The solution is already supplemented by calcium ions and THAM; therefore, it is always ready for use. This solution can be stored at a temperature of 2–25 °C and used conveniently and safely because of its packaging design.
Perfusion solution is intended for lavage of isolated lungs, their cold static storage and transportation following their removal from a donor and during the preparation for possible transportation to a recipient. A component of a colloid solution, dextran 40, particularly protects microvascular function against postchemical reperfusion injury, first of all, by preventing pathologic interaction between leucocytes and endothelium, as well as protects from development of oedema during the organ storage.
