Metrix-Secure 66040 - 100ml EVA 2-Port Bag, 50/CS
100 ml Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) 2 Port Bag
Our Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) containers are made with an EVA material that does not contain harmful plasticizers such as DEHP, which can leach into TPN solutions. EVA is more durable for reduced breakage, more stable for improved safety and more transparent for improved admixture inspection. The Secure bags are latex-free and all tubes are made with Non-DEHP Vinyl. More reasons to feel secure!
Our TPN line of bags is composed of bags that can be filled by various TPN compounders, filled by gravity, or filled with syringes or single-station filling devices. There is a Secure bag for nearly every TPN and IV application.
Ethyl Vinyl Acetate (EVA) bags are constructed from a copolymer, monolayer film

DEHP
Infusion Therapy Standards of Practice advise to use administration sets not made with di-ethylhexyl-phthalate (DEHP) to administer lipid-based infusates, such as IVFE or TNA. DEHP is lipophilic and is extracted into the lipid solution with commonly used polyvinyl chloride administration sets and containers. DEHP is considered a toxin, and studies have demonstrated increased DEHP levels in lipid solutions, which is especially a risk with neonatal, pediatric, and long-term home care patients (42).
