Baxter revolutionized blood collection with the first flexible plastic blood-collection container, which led to the first flexible plastic IV solution container for IV therapy. Soon thereafter Baxter introduced the MINI-BAG container systems for IV drugs, and the flexible plastic containers used in peritoneal dialysis, the first portable dialysis therapy.   

FLEXBUMIN 25% [Albumin (Human)], the first and only albumin packaged in a GALAXY* flexible container system, is the result of combining Baxter’s expertise in medical plastics with its expertise in biologics to create a uniquely packaged product in the marketplace.  Important Risk Information  | Prescribing Information
