The prevention of plasticizer migration into nutritional emulsion mixtures by use of a novel container.
The presence of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate in poly (vinyl chloride) has led to concern regarding the potential for plasticizer migration from this widely used material into fluids for infusion, particularly nutritional admixtures containing lipid. A novel container is reported which combines the advantages and versatility of poly(vinyl chloride) without the disadvantage of plasticizer migration into the infused fluid.
