Heparin calcium is heparin's calcium salt, a negatively charged linear polysaccharide that belongs to the glycosaminoglycan family. Its main feature is the presence of a sequence of five sugars in the polysaccharide chain able to interact with the antithrombotic III (ATIII), speeding up the velocity at which this protein inhibits the blood's procoagulant factors.
For preventative and healing treatment of thromboembolic accidents.
The material safety data sheet is the same for heparin sodium and its derivatives such as heparin ammonium, heparin lithium, dermatan sulfate and heparinoids.
