Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved surfactant agent to treat ARDS Exogenous Surfactants The term exogenous, used to describe this class of drugs, refers to the fact that these are surfactant preparations from outside the patient's own body.

Ecosurf EF non-ionic surfactants provide superior performance benefits in many formulations over alkylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs and OPEs) and/or fatty alcohol ethoxylates (PAEs) as well as other, commercially available alternative surfactant chemistries, according to the company.
