Parenteral Nutrition
Parenteral nutrition is indicated when patients are unable to meet their nutritional needs through oral or enteral nutrition due to diseases such as cancer, chronic diseases affecting the gastrointestinal tract, or after surgery. In such cases either single bottleswith amino acids, glucose and lipids, compounded bags or -chamber bags are provided to the patient.

Likewise, it takes three ingredients to give patients the necessary macronutrients they need to have good preconditions for recovery.
Filled in three chambers: glucose, amino acids, and lipids, mixing these three and adding individual components means using all shades of nutrition therapy to really meet the individualneed of your patients.
Multi-chamber bags assist physicians in the effective nutritional therapy of their patients, pharmacists in the safe drug compounding and nurses in the user-friendly administration of Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) solutions.
As a physician you want to provide high quality and compassionate care to patients to ensure that your patients receive all the nutrients they need. That’s why parenteral nutrition - in a simple, easy-to-use 3-chamber bag - has become an integral part of overall nutrition therapy for decades now, especially when oral or enteral nutrition is not an option or insufficient.
As a pharmacist, you bear a great responsibility. Having a good database of compatibility not only makes the processeasier, but it also makes you feel safe. Easy-to-mix multichamber bags are a great improvement for efficient workflows.
As a nurse, you must be able to rely on safe handling and ease of use, when administering parenteral nutrition solutions to your patients.
