DEXTROSE 25% (dextrose)
Anticoagulant Citrate Dextrose Solution USP (ACD) Solution A is an anticoagulant intended for use with medical devices that prepare Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) products. It prevents blood from clotting during extracorporeal processing, ensuring the blood remains in a fluid state while being handled outside the body for PRP preparation.
How DEXTROSE 25% Works
This solution acts as an extracorporeal anticoagulant by binding free calcium in the blood, a necessary co-factor for several steps in the natural clotting cascade. The solution utilizes sodium citrate for its anticoagulant properties, citric acid for pH regulation, and dextrose to ensure the solution remains isotonic. It has no direct pharmacological effect.
