Description
Key Features
Product: SWAN-LOCK® Vial Adapter
Type: Needle-Free
This design helps prevent needlestick injuries and reduces the risk of contamination.
Vial Compatibility: Specifically designed for a secure attachment to 13mm vials.
Access Port: Features a swabable, needle-free "SWAN-LOCK®" port, which allows for repeated access with a standard Luer-lock syringe.
Venting: Includes a 0.2-micron hydrophobic air-vent filter. This is a critical feature that neutralizes the pressure inside the vial as medication is withdrawn, minimizing aerosols and preventing leakage.
Spike: Equipped with a non-coring penetrating spike, which is designed to pierce the vial's rubber stopper cleanly without cutting out small particles (cores) that could contaminate the medication.
Sterility: Sold as sterile and is disposable (for single-patient use).
Material: Not made with natural rubber latex.
Common Uses
The CODAN BC1026 is used by healthcare professionals in clinical and pharmacy settings for the safe preparation, withdrawal, and administration of medications from 13mm vials.
Its primary applications include:
Hazardous Drug Handling: The needle-free and vented-filter design is ideal for handling cytotoxic (chemotherapy) drugs and other hazardous medications. It protects the clinician by minimizing the risk of exposure to drug aerosols or spills.
Compounding: Used in pharmacies for compounding sterile preparations.
Medication Administration: Allows nurses and other clinicians to safely draw up doses of medication at the bedside or in a medication room without a needle.
Infection Control: By eliminating the need for a needle to access the vial, it helps reduce the risk of bacterial contamination.
