Safeflow is a needleless connector, which provides safe options for the preparation and administration of IV therapies. The product helps to protect healthcare workers from accidental needlestick injuries. The design of Safeflow provides a straight fluid path with uninterrupted fluid flow for fast drug delivery, blood sampling and infusions.
Safeflow forms a closed system as it is designed to prevent microbial ingress and the escape of contaminants. It allows multiple usage through activation of the needleless connector by attaching a luer connector such as a syringe or an IV-set.
