Mention BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) to almost any healthcare professional or medical supply buyer and certain products immediately come to mind.
BD syringes. BD needles. BD IV catheters. BD sharps containers.
For generations of healthcare professionals, the BD name has been closely associated with the everyday medical devices used for injections, vascular access, medication delivery, and sharps safety.
But there is another BD product category that many healthcare buyers still don't realize is available:
BD IV bags and IV fluids.
Today, BD offers a portfolio of IV fluids that includes 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection (Normal Saline), Lactated Ringer's Injection, 0.45% Sodium Chloride Injection, Dextrose solutions, and other formulations in a range of commonly used IV bag sizes.
For IV hydration clinics, wellness practices, infusion centers, medical offices, and other healthcare providers already familiar with BD products, the BD IV fluid portfolio is worth knowing about.

You Know BD. You May Not Know BD IV Fluids.
BD hardly needs an introduction in healthcare.
The company's products are found throughout hospitals, physician offices, clinics, laboratories, and other healthcare environments.
A typical healthcare professional may already be familiar with products such as:
- BD syringes
- BD hypodermic needles
- BD safety needles
- BD Insyte™ IV catheters
- BD Vacutainer® blood collection products
- BD sharps collectors
- BD infusion products
That familiarity is exactly what makes BD IV fluids interesting.
A practice may already use a BD catheter to establish IV access, a BD syringe for medication preparation, and a BD sharps container for disposal—without realizing that BD also offers the IV fluid bag itself.
Yes, BD Offers IV Bags
BD currently offers a family of IV fluids in a variety of formulations and sizes.
The portfolio includes commonly used solutions such as:
- 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP
- Lactated Ringer's Injection, USP

What Is Different About the BD IV Bag?
BD IV fluids are supplied in the freeflex® IV bag.
The freeflex bag is made from a multilayer polyolefin film. According to BD, the bag is:
- Non-PVC
- Non-DEHP
- Not made with natural rubber latex
The bag also incorporates two ports with self-sealing septums and easy break-off caps that provide visual tamper evidence.
The freeflex® name may also be familiar to some healthcare buyers. freeflex is a registered trademark of Fresenius Kabi, which manufactures the IV fluid products offered through BD.
BD Normal Saline IV Bags
One of the most useful parts of the BD IV fluid portfolio is the range of sizes available for 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection, USP, commonly referred to as Normal Saline.

Why Haven't More Healthcare Buyers Heard About BD IV Bags?
That's a fair question.
BD has an enormous medical-device portfolio, and its brand recognition has historically been especially strong in categories such as syringes, needles, vascular access, blood collection, sharps safety, and infusion technology.
As a result, a healthcare buyer searching for IV fluids may instinctively think of traditional IV-fluid manufacturers before thinking of BD.
Yet BD now maintains a dedicated IV Fluids portfolio covering multiple solutions and bag sizes.
For practices already purchasing other BD products, that creates an interesting opportunity to consider another familiar healthcare brand when sourcing IV fluids.
A Familiar Name Across the IV Procedure
Think about the supplies used throughout an IV procedure.
A healthcare practice might use:
BD IV catheter → for vascular access
BD syringe and needle → for appropriate medication preparation or administration
BD IV fluid → for the prescribed IV solution
BD sharps collector → for appropriate sharps disposal
That's a broader presence across the IV workflow than many buyers associate with the BD name.
For IV hydration and wellness practices in particular, understanding the full BD portfolio can make product sourcing and standardization easier.
Why MohawkPlus Is Expanding Its BD IV Fluid Offering
At MohawkPlus, our focus is increasingly centered on the supplies used every day by IV hydration clinics, wellness practices, med spas, infusion settings, and other healthcare providers.
IV fluids are naturally at the center of that product mix.
That's why we're excited to make healthcare buyers more aware of the BD IV fluid portfolio and offer commonly used BD Normal Saline and Lactated Ringer's configurations alongside the other IV products practices purchase regularly.
Rather than buying the IV bag from one source, catheters from another, and disposable supplies from several others, MohawkPlus is building a more complete IV therapy offering in one place.
