Oxygen Bridge™
The purpose of intravenous oxygen-delivery support is to help stabilize the patient and prevent tissue damage or organ dysfunction associated with oxygen deprivation. When Hemopure or Oxyglobin is infused into the bloodstream, its chemically stabilized hemoglobin molecules both carry oxygen in the plasma (the fluid part of blood) and facilitate the release of oxygen from red blood cells, thereby increasing diffusion of oxygen to tissues. If necessary, this effect can be extended over time by repeat dosing to provide a continuous Oxygen Bridge until anemic or ischemic patients receive other appropriate therapy.
