Nordson : MEDICAL Expands Needlefree Swabable Valve Portfolio

14 Jun 2016

Designed for the injection and aspiration of fluids, particularly for flushing and drainage systems, IV applications, urology, and blood processing, the smooth, flat swabable surface promotes easy cleaning and reduces the risk of biofilm contamination. The ability to disinfect between uses makes them a safer, easier method for drug delivery and minimizes needlestick injury.

A transparent silicone valve option is now available for an easily visible fluid path. Not made with natural rubber latex or DEHP, the valves are gamma radiation stable and EtO compatible. With swabable and non-swabable designs, the female components feature a normally closed diaphragm that opens with a luer, making them compatible with industry standard luer syringes and connectors.

The complimentary valved male luers are designed to attach directly to tubing during set assembly. They eliminate dripping and leakage when disconnected, doing away with the need for clamps.

'The new needlefree valves reflect our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our medical customers,' says Ravi Narayanan, Global Product Manager for Nordson MEDICAL. 'As part of our full range of fluid management components, they are being added to an already extensive line of needlefree products.'

With lower minimum order quantities, complete product and regulatory information readily available online, and thousands of components in stock, Nordson MEDICAL's service and reliability are here to meet your needs.
