Key Features of Polifleks Infusion
The Polifleks brand is distinguished by its proprietary flexible bag technology. These transparent bags are designed for infusion without the need for an external air vent, reducing the risk of contamination. The solution is clear and colorless, meeting international pharmacopeia standards.
