Product description

icumedical ChemoClave Vented Vial Spike, 20 mm, REF CH-80S. Used in IV administration sets. The ChemoClave is a needle-free Closed System Transfer Device (CSTD) that mechanically prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants, including bacterial and airborne contaminants into the system, and the escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system during drug preparation and administration, thereby minimizing exposure of individuals, healthcare personnel and the environment to hazardous drugs.
