B BRAUN L5100 DEXTROSE INJECTIONS USP Dextrose Injections, 5%, 1000mL, EXCEL® Containers, 12/cs (60 cs/plt) Max weekly quantity allowed: 10
• Model: L5100
• Volume: 1000mL
• Case of 12
• 60 Cases/ Pallet
The L5100 5% Dextrose Injection USP in a 1000 mL EXCEL® bag by B. Braun is designed to provide a straightforward and effective infusion solution for situations where both fluid volume and a mild caloric load are needed. With 5% dextrose as the active solute, it offers approximately 170 kcal per liter (as noted in the labeling) via dextrose metabolism, alongside supplying water for hydration. The one‑liter bag format supports broader use — in adult patients needing standard hydration, or in pediatric settings scaled appropriately — while the EXCEL® system delivers this in a flexible bag that remains free of natural rubber latex, PVC, and DEHP, aligning with contemporary materials‑safety standards.
From a workflow and operational standpoint, the 1000 mL size offers economies of scale and ease of use in clinical units that deliver multiple infusions daily. The 12‑bag‑per‑case packaging is manageable for storage and stocking, and the bag’s single‑use flexible design simplifies handling and disposal compared to rigid containers. The solution is sterile, nonpyrogenic, and contains no antimicrobial or bacteriostatic agents, reducing concern about additive interference or preservative‑related complications. Additionally, the materials of the container and absence of certain plasticizers make it suitable for environments where minimizing patient exposure to latex or phthalates is a priority.
Clinically, this solution finds its place in general IV therapy where patients require hydration plus a mild glucose infusion — for example, in such contexts as mild dehydration in post‑operative care, or when oral intake is insufficient and a low‑concentration glucose carrier is acceptable. Because it is essentially electrolyte‑free, clinicians must evaluate whether additional electrolytes or other fluids are necessary to meet full patient needs. Also important to note: because the solution lacks electrolytes and is dextrose only (no sodium or other salts), caution should be exercised regarding compatibility with blood products (due to risk of agglomeration) and in patient populations where glycemic control or electrolyte balance is critical. In sum, the L5100 bag offers a versatile base fluid solution that, while not specialized, fulfills a common need in many infusion settings for hydration plus mild caloric support.
EXCEL & PAB, the only PVC-free, DEHP-free containers with a full range of basic IV solutions. EXCEL & PAB eliminate the risk of plasticizer toxicity, reduces the risk of sub-therapeutic dosing and facilitate inspection of admixtures.
