freeflex® IV Bags – Pharmacist-Driven Design for Safer, More Efficient IV Preparation

Pharmacists know that IV infusion safety starts with the bag. That’s why Fresenius Kabi developed the freeflex® IV bag—engineered without PVC, DEHP, or latex, and designed with direct input from pharmacists, technicians, and clinicians. These bags support sterility assurance, reduce compounding errors, and align with best practices for safe medication handling.

Key Features:

  • Pharmacist-Informed Design: Input from pharmacists shaped every element—from color-coded, clearly labeled ports to easy-to-read bag markings—streamlining workflow and reducing dispensing errors.

  • DEHP-Free, PVC-Free Material: Manufactured from advanced polyolefin film with no plasticizers or natural rubber latex, minimizing drug compatibility concerns and reducing harmful leachables.

  • Enhanced Sterility and Safety: Self-sealing injection and infusion ports, tamper-evident break-off caps, and integrated flow stops help protect integrity from cleanroom to administration.

  • Extended Shelf Life: Over 75% of freeflex® and freeflex+® bags offer a 36-month shelf life—ideal for inventory planning and minimizing waste in hospital and compounding pharmacy settings.

  • Ready for Premix or Compounding: Flexible enough for sterile admixtures or manufacturer-prepared premix solutions, with bag durability that holds up through secondary labeling and handling.

By integrating freeflex® IV bags into pharmacy operations, pharmacists can enhance medication safety, improve handling efficiency, and align with evolving regulatory and environmental standards.
