Oxyglobin (Biopure Corporation)

Oxyglobin, developed by Biopure Corporation, is a type of blood substitute designed for veterinary use, primarily in dogs. It’s a special solution containing hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in blood. Unlike traditional blood transfusions, Oxyglobin can be administered quickly without matching blood types, providing an oxygen boost during emergencies such as blood loss or anemia. It helps maintain oxygen levels and supports vital organs while the animal's own blood recovers or a compatible donor is found. Oxyglobin offers an alternative to blood transfusions, especially in situations where donor blood is unavailable or unsuitable.
