OLIMEL Portfolio for Nutritional Care

The OLIMEL portfolio consists of eight unique olive oil-based parenteral (intravenous) nutrition formulations designed to match the personalized protein and energy needs of patients.    

Seriously ill patients and those going through major surgery may require more advanced treatment for disease-related malnutrition, a condition that occurs when a person has experienced a traumatic healthcare event and cannot get adequate nutrients orally or through tube feeding. Studies indicate that protein appears to be the most important macronutrient for healing wounds and maintaining lean body mass during these times^1-5.  However, not all patients have the same nutritional requirements.

The OLIMEL portfolio contains a broad selection formulations in Baxter's triple-chamber system to deliver balanced proteins and glucose for each type of patient. A parenteral nutrition formulation with high protein and an olive oil-based lipid emulsion is supported by the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) and the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) guidelines.

NEW! Introducing OLIMEL 7.6%

The newest addition to the portfolio is OLIMEL 7.6%. Loss of lean body mass and fluid overload are associated with negative clinical outcomes^{2-3, 6-8}.  With 76g of amino acid per Liter, OLIMEL 7.6% delivers the highest protein AND the lowest glucose formulation available in a standardized, triple-chamber system^9-11. OLIMEL 7.6% is formulated with electrolytes and without.
