Description

Bacteriostatic Water is a sterile, non-pyrogenic water preparation formulated with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which serves as a preservative to inhibit the growth of bacteria within the vial after multiple entries. This preservative system allows the contents to remain viable for repeated withdrawals when handled according to proper sterile technique.

This solution is commonly used for dilution, mixing, and reconstitution where a sterile water medium with bacteriostatic properties is required. The inclusion of benzyl alcohol helps maintain the integrity of the solution after it has been opened, making it suitable for applications where multidose access is needed over a short period.

Manufactured under strict quality controls, Bacteriostatic Water undergoes filtration and sterilization processes to ensure clarity, purity, and consistency. Each vial is sealed to maintain sterility until first puncture, and should only be used in accordance with proper handling protocols.

Common applications include:

• Dilution of compatible materials that require sterile water as a mixing medium

• Reconstitution of substances requiring controlled liquid addition

• Laboratory or procedural use where repeated sterile access is needed

Important Notes

• Contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol, which provides bacteriostatic action.

• For dilution and reconstitution purposes only.

• Must be handled using appropriate sterile technique.

• Discard after the recommended time period following first puncture.
