Product description
icumedical ChemoLock, 20mm, (a) REF CL-80S (b) REF CL-80S-10 (10 units). Used in IV administration sets. The ChemoLock Closed System Drug Transfer Device prevents the transfer of environmental contaminants, including bacterial and airborne contaminants into the system, and the escape of drug or vapor concentrations outside the system. The ChemoLock is needlefree and cannot be deactivated, which will passively aid in preventing needlestick injuries and the exposure to cytotoxic medications for healthcare personnel.
