Material and Safety

• Material Composition: Free from PVC, DEHP, and latex/natural rubber, making it safe for a wide range of medical applications and reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
• Pressure and Lipid Resistance: Withstands pressures up to 3.1 bar and is resistant to lipids and disinfectants, ensuring reliable performance under various conditions.
• Air Embolism Prevention: Effectively prevents air embolism, fluid or blood escape, and air entry, safeguarding patient safety.

Usability

• Multiple Use Capability: Allows repeated activations with Luer connections, providing versatility and convenience in clinical settings.
• Sterile Cap: Comes ready to use with a sterile cap and should be recapped with a new sterile cap after each use to maintain sterility.
