Luer-activated valve prevents needle-stick injuries

Designed to promote safe fluid delivery through needleless access systems, a capless luer-activated valve works with most standard syringes and is compatible with most drugs. Activated when coupled with most standard luer-lock and luer-slip syringes, the bidirectional LAV XL has a double-seal design that prevents leakage, protecting clinicians from blood contact. The valve can withstand gamma sterilization and can be cleaned with sterile swabbing, eliminating the need for a cap. The housing is molded from a Class VI clear polycarbonate, and the gland is made of a nonlatex material. Stand-alone and Y-site versions are available. NP Medical Inc., 101 Union St., Clinton, MA 01510.
