Blood Cell Separation
|
Dextran can be applied in the reversible aggregation of human red blood cells, yet the mechanism governing the process are still being explored. The process is useful for separation of red blood cells from other cells and components of the blood. |

Blood Volume Expander
|
Intravenous solutions with dextran function have the effect of volume expanders and parenteral nutrition. Such a solution provides an osmotically neutral fluid that once in the body is digested by cells into glucose and free water. It is occasionally used to replace lost blood in emergency situations when replacement blood is not available. |
