UNSPSC 51131900: Blood plasma substitutes and extenders and expanders

This classification denotes substances, such as erythrocyte, hemoglobin, or red cell substitutes or artificial hemoglobin, that are used in place of blood, for example, as an alternative to blood transfusions after blood loss to restore blood volume and oxygen-carrying capacity to the blood circulation, or to perfuse isolated organs.

UNSPSC 51131900 Blood plasma substitutes and extenders and expanders is a Class code that covers synthetic or manufactured products used to restore or maintain blood volume and oxygen-carrying capacity in medical settings — alternatives to natural plasma or whole blood. State and local governments procure these products primarily through health departments, hospital systems, public health agencies, and emergency medical services. The scope includes plasma expanders (such as albumin substitutes and dextran solutions), oxygen-carrying blood substitutes, and related hemostatic agents used in acute care, trauma response, and routine surgical procedures.
