Description
BLEs (Bovine Lipid Extract surfactant) is extracted from bovine lung surfactant. The manufacturing process removes hydrophilic proteins, the majority of which would be surfactant associated proteins SP-A, and selects for hydrophobic phospholipids and surfactant-associated proteins SP-B and SP-C.
“BLEs can rapidly affect oxygenated and lung compliance.”
