It is common to first flush with normal saline and then “lock” the line with the heparin solution. Before flushing, one should aspirate to confirm the line is open, then inject the heparin solution to completely fill the catheter lumen. This lock flush is replaced each time the line is used.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNot for Other Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not use this product to treat blood clots or as a regular anticoagulant.
