HOW IT WORKS

Syringe Syringe Adapter

When attached, the syringe connector

  • pens the valve which
  • therwise prevents outflow

A one way valve allows flow only out of the IV bag preventing back contamination. Two potential valve options are possible (duckbill and cantilever). IV bag or vial is connected here
