What differentiates Octapharma from other plasma companies?

Octapharma is an independent private company with a high degree of flexibility and specialisation.

 

Focusing exclusively on human protein products, we have achieved a number of firsts:

  • The first company to apply the solvent detergent (SD) virus inactivation method to routine production
  • The first company to launch high-purity, virus inactivated Factor VIII and Factor IX concentrates
  • The first company to launch a liquid immunoglobulin preparation
  • The first company to launch virus-inactivated plasma for transfusion.

Furthermore:

  • Octapharma utilises human plasma as the source of many of its products. Recent studies have vindicated this approach by demonstrating that native active ingredients induce lower rates of adverse reactions than man-made alternatives.
  • Octapharma only sources plasma through professional suppliers.
  • All Octapharma products are developed and manufactured by the company.
