Low resistance to flow (dynamic viscosity) may improve the uniformity of distribution in the lung.
Dynamic Viscosities of Lung Surfactants2
- Infasurf’s unique composition and low viscosity allows for fast distribution to the distal airways2.
- At room and body temperature, Infasurf has lower dynamic viscosity than Curosurf®(poractant alfa) and Survanta®(beractant)2.
- Dynamic viscosity is only slightly changed by temperature
Approximate Dynamic Viscosities of Common Substances7,8
Disclaimer:
There are no prospective, randomized clinical trials comparing Infasurf® and Curosurf® with respect to safety or efficacy.
