As the global health community grapples with a saline bag shortage, Key Basis IV & Wellness is proud to offer uninterrupted IV therapy services in Miami. Saline bags are a crucial component of IV drip therapy, providing the hydration and delivery medium for essential nutrients, vitamins, and medications. Despite supply chain challenges, we’ve taken proactive measures to ensure our clients continue to receive the care they deserve.
What Is Causing the Saline Bag Shortage?
The shortage of saline bags has been driven by several factors, including disruptions in manufacturing, increased global demand, and logistical challenges. Notably, Hurricane Helene caused substantial damage to Baxter International's manufacturing facility in North Cove, North Carolina, which produces about 60% of the nation's IV fluids (Newsweek). These issues have made it difficult for healthcare providers to access this essential resource. For many IV therapy centers, this shortage has led to delays and service interruptions—but not at Key Basis IV.

Why Saline Bags Matter in IV Therapy
Saline bags are more than just a delivery system; they’re the foundation of effective IV therapy. Saline solution hydrates the body while acting as a carrier for vitamins, minerals, and medications. This makes it indispensable for:
Hydration Therapy: Quickly replenishing fluids after illness, dehydration, or overexertion.
Nutrient Delivery: Ensuring maximum absorption of essential vitamins and nutrients.
Recovery and Wellness: Supporting clients recovering from physical exertion, travel, or other stressors.
The current shortage has led many healthcare providers to implement conservation strategies, such as rationing IV fluids and seeking alternative methods for patient hydration. Some hospitals have even delayed elective procedures due to the scarcity of these essential supplies (Advisory).
