Getting ready for Hurricane Milton: Protecting important IV supplies during shortages.
Reading
Hurricane Milton is threatening a factory in Florida that makes IV bags. This comes after a factory in North Carolina that makes most of the country's IV bags was damaged by a different hurricane.
The Florida company, B. Braun Medical, is moving its IV bags to a safe place. They hope to start making and shipping IV bags again soon.
Experts are happy that B. Braun is being proactive. They say this is better than what happened with the North Carolina factory, which was caught off guard.
Hospitals are asking the government for help because they are running low on IV bags. The government is looking at different options, like bringing in IV bags from other countries.
The government might also allow companies to make IV bags differently or for a longer time. They have used similar solutions in the past for baby formula and COVID-19 supplies.
