Defined Tag: Sterile Talc.

Sterile talc powder is a medicinal tool often used to treat cancer patients. Doctors treating patients use sterile talc in powder form by inserting it between the lungs and the chest wall to prevent pleural effusions. Patients who suffer from certain types of cancer can get a water buildup between that space and the injection sterile talc powder prevents the space from collecting fluid. The reason why sterile talc is used in this procedure is because the talc mineral is virtually insoluble in water.

Sterile talc is a natural mineral that is mostly used in powder form. It is an asbestos-free product usually supplied in a 100 ML amber glass vale sealed with a gray, 20 mm stopper and covered with a flip-off seal to allow for proper and accurate measurement by professional handlers. Each bottle must feature proper labeling and contain a minimum of 5.0 g of Talc USP (Ultra 2000 Talc), which is either white or off-white to light gray, asbestos-free and brucite-free grade of talc of controlled particle size. The composition of the talc is ? 95% talc as hydrated magnesium silicate. The empirical formula of talc is Mg3 Si4 010 (OH)2 with a molecular weight of 379.3. Associated naturally occurring minerals include chlorite (hydrated aluminum and magnesium silicate.), dolomite (calcium and magnesium carbonate), calcite (calcium carbonate) and quartz. Talc is practically insoluble in water and in dilute solutions of acids and alkali hydroxides. The finished product has been sterilized by gamma irradiation.

The recommended dose when insertion into the chest is 5g, dissolved in 50-100 ML sodium chloride administered slowly through the chest tube. Each 5 g dosage is sterilized via gamma irradiation and is of a controlled particle size. It is intended to prevent the area between the chest and lungs from filling with water and is a preventative measure of death for many cancer patients.
