Infos

Ensure complete flushing of blood
Decrease enzyme activity: cool the organ (hypothermic)¹
Ischaemic reperfusion damage (IRI) reduction:
1. Prevention grafts from tissue acidosis : phosphate, sulfate, and sodium hydoxide¹
2. Regeneration of high-energy substances : adenosine²
3. Prevention of oxidative damage: glutathione and allopurinol^4,5
4. Prevention of hypothermia-induced cellular swelling and oedema: PEG + membrane-impermeable substances (Raffinose & Lactobionic acid)³

The IGL-1® Solution is an extra-cellular colloid solution with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as colloid polymer.
