Needle free solution launched for vascular access

medK, a German source for interventional products, has launched a needle free solution for vascular access. The needle free connection offers access to fluid lines eliminating the risk of needle sticks.

The extension line can also be connected with a glass syringe. With the multi-way versions there is no need to use a stopcock or a manifold.

medK Needle free Extension Lines are compatible for disinfection with IPA wipes (Isopropanol). This and the valve surface allows disinfection and reduces the risk of infections. The leak free disconnection protects against blood contaminations for health workers. Once disconnected it provides reliable closure and can stay up to seven days or two hundred activations with the patient. The fully visible flow path allows visual check of the fluid by the personnel.  

The needle free extension lines are also available with a combined check valve that safeguards against back tracking. medK needle free extension lines are compatible with Isopropanol, Chlorohexidine, blood and lipids. The device is suitable for use in MRI procedures and is latex and animal product free.
