Product Description

PolyHeme® is a human hemoglobin-based temporary oxygen-carrying red blood cell substitute in development for the treatment of life-threatening blood loss when an oxygen-carrying fluid is required and red blood cells are not available.

PolyHeme® is a solution of chemically modified human hemoglobin which simultaneously restores lost blood volume and hemoglobin levels and is designed for rapid, massive infusion.

PolyHeme’s characteristics include:

  • Simultaneously restores lost blood volume and hemoglobin levels
  • Universally compatible (does not require typing or cross-matching before infusion)
  • Immediately available
  • Has extended shelf life in excess of 12 months
  • Is manufactured from human red blood cells using steps to reduce the risk of viral transmission.
