Closed-System Drug Transfer Device (CSTD)

A mechanically closed transfer system that keeps vapour and aerosol inside the closed path during preparation and administration.

In which cases?

Reconstituting a cytotoxic vial in the pharmacy hood.
Transferring the dose to a bag or syringe with no open needle.
Connecting and disconnecting the set at the infusion chair.

What makes it different?

Closed mechanically, so vapour and aerosol stay inside the vial.
Fits standard vials, syringes and sets, so pharmacy stock is unchanged.
