Fresenius Kabi is offering preservative-free heparin sodium injection, in 5,000 units per 0.5 mL in Simplist ready-to-administer prefilled syringes.

“Fresenius Kabi is focused on expanding our Heparin and Simplist prefilled syringe portfolios with this Simplist Heparin prefilled syringe,” Fresnius Kabi USA president and CEO John Ducker said. “By combining a small-volume presentation of Heparin with our other convenient ready-to-administer prefilled syringes, this product will support safe practices for this high-alert Medication.”

Fresenius Kabi also offers heparin sodium injection, 5,000 units per 1 mL in a Simplist prefilled syringe along with Heparin Sodium in five freeflex premix ready-to-administer containers and 11 vial presentations.
