Description

BAC-STAT Bacteriostatic Saline 0.9% (30ml) is a bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride solution for injection preserved with benzyl alcohol. It is supplied as a sterile, pyrogen-free 30 mL multi-dose glass vial and is specifically designed as a diluent for the safe and efficient reconstitution or dilution of injectable medications (such as vaccines, peptides, hormones and biologics) that require 0.9% sodium chloride. The benzyl alcohol preservative inhibits bacterial growth between withdrawals, allowing repeated access to the vial over its in-use period and offering a cost-effective alternative to single-use sterile saline. The label specifies 0.9% Sodium Chloride (9 mg/mL), 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol (9 mg/mL) and Water for Injection, with the product clearly marked NOT FOR INHALATION and NOT FOR USE IN NEONATES, and intended FOR DRUG DILUENT USE ONLY.

Bnefits

Provides a bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride injection with benzyl alcohol preservative, helping to inhibit bacterial growth between uses.
Multi-dose vial format allows safe repeated withdrawals from the same 30 mL vial when handled aseptically, improving convenience in clinical and research settings.
Reduces waste compared with single-use preservative-free saline, enabling fuller utilisation of vial contents and lowering per-dose cost of diluent.
Maintains isotonicity and compatibility for medications that require reconstitution or dilution with 0.9% sodium chloride solution.
Supports workflow efficiency by reducing frequency of vial changes and saline preparation in busy clinics, vaccine campaigns and research laboratories.
Clearly presented labelling (NOT FOR INHALATION, NOT FOR USE IN NEONATES, FOR DRUG DILUENT USE ONLY) to support safe, appropriate use under professional supervision.

Indications

Use as a bacteriostatic 0.9% sodium chloride diluent for the reconstitution or dilution of injectable medications that are compatible with benzyl alcohol-preserved saline.
Multi-dose diluent for injectable drugs used in clinical practice, such as vaccines, hormone therapies, peptides, biologics and other parenteral products that specify or permit 0.9% sodium chloride for reconstitution.
Diluent for injectable medications in clinical research settings where repeated sterile withdrawals from a single vial are required over a defined in-use period.
