Patient Safety and Sustainability

The reason our IV bags aren’t made with DEHP is clear.

At B. Braun, patient safety and sustainability are in our DNA. Over 40 years ago, we recognized the environmental and patient risks of toxic chemicals like DEHP and PVC and were the first medical device manufacturer to remove them from many of our products. Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), which is used to soften the plastic polyvinyl chloride (PVC), can leach into IV fluids, potentially putting patients at risk. Protect your patients and the planet with a full line of IV bags not made with DEHP or PVC.

A long history of sustainability in healthcare

Forty years of doing the right thing
