  Low Molecular Weight Heparins (LMWH) are an application of pharmacological anticoagulant intervention which are derived from UFH by chemical or enzymatic depolymerisation to yield fragments that are around one third how big heparin. Low molecular weight heparin is employed for prophylaxis of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, or thrombosis occurring in a broad spectral range of clinical indications, including general or orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, trauma, unstable angina, and myocardial infarction. LMWHs are However, it's associated with higher anticoagulant effect and provides higher bioavailability after subcutaneous administration, when compared with unfractionated heparin (UFH), for thromboembolic indications. Low Molecular Weight Heparins comes from an unfractionated heparin with an average molecular weight of significantly less than 8,000 Da. Low molecular weight heparins are extracted by enzymatic or chemical depolymerization of unfractio...

Heparin has proven to be highly effective in mitigating certain blood clotting disorders as well as preventing blood clots after surgery

  Heparin is a synthetic compound that is made from rabbit proteins called plasma protein. Many different types of pharmaceutical companies produce different versions of Heparin. This compound is typically manufactured by exposing proteins to extreme temperatures in order to induce their transformation to a liquid state. The resulting product, which is commonly called 'Hep' is then injected into the body so that it can diffuse throughout the body and eliminate toxins and other substances. Heparin has a wide range of medical applications. It is most commonly used in the treatment of severe bleeding, such as that associated with conditions like anemia and thrombosis. Heparin , also known as unfractionated heparin (UFH), is a glycosaminoglycan that occurs naturally. It is used as an anticoagulant in medicine (blood thinner). It is particularly useful for the treatment of heart attacks and unstable angina. It is injected into a vein or injected under the skin. It is ...
