Compared with other commercially available MCBs licensed for peripheral administration, SmofKabiven Low Osmo Peripheral, based on the kcal content per ml of fluid, and maximum hourly infusion rates and recommended infusion periods for adults, can deliver the most kcal per kg bw/hour.1* It contains SMOFlipid® (soya-bean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil and fish oil),2 which may have positive effects on patient outcomes.3–6
SmofKabiven Low Osmo Peripheral has the lowest osmolarity, compared with other commercially available MCBs licensed for peripheral administration,1,7–10 within expert guideline recommendations for osmolarities for peripheral PN.11,12*
For total PN, vitamins and trace elements should be administered to the patient in addition to the macronutrients delivered via multi-chamber bags.

SmofKabiven Low Osmo Peripheral1
Contains SMOFlipid, a four lipid emulsion2
SmofKabiven Low Osmo Peripheral contains the same SMOFlipid found in all the SmofKabiven ranges
- Shown to have less impact on liver cell function and inflammatory response versus older lipid emulsions3,5,13–15
Contains Aminoven® 16 (amino acids 10%)
SmofKabiven Low Osmo Peripheral provides essential, non-essential and conditionally essential amino acids
- Contains taurine which may have a hepatoprotective effect17
Efficient energy delivery
SmofKabiven Low Osmo Peripheral provides the most kcal/kg/hour compared with other commercially available MCBs licensed for peripheral use when maximum infusion rates and recommended infusion periods for adults are applied.1,7-10
- Lowest osmolarity compared with other commercially available MCBs licensed for peripheral administration*1,7-10
For short-term PN
SmofKabiven Low Osmo Peripheral1 is designed to meet the needs of patients requiring short-term nutrition support and for whom energy needs are prioritised
- Peripheral venous access can be quicker to establish than central venous access, offering the possibility for prompt administration of PN18,19
- Helps support venous tolerability through low osmolarity11,12,18–21
