A split septum needle-free valve that keeps the line closed between accesses, with a 7 day microbial barrier, as a single valve or on one, two and three-way sets.

In which cases?

  • Repeated drug access on a peripheral or central line without needles.
  • Several infusions through a two or three-way valve set.
  • Blood products and chemotherapy drugs, which the manufacturer lists as compatible.

What makes it different?

  • 7 day barrier the valve held a microbial barrier over 7 days and 35 activations in a 2021 university laboratory test.
  • 200 activations no leak, no silicone deformation and no broken luer up to 200 activations in the manufacturer's 2021 test.
  • No needle needle-stick risk goes, and the flat silicone face wipes clean.
  • Low priming volume the manufacturer states it does not slow flow.

Frequently asked questions

Can a needle be used on the valve?

No. The instructions say the valve is not entered with a needle or a blunt cannula; it opens with a luer syringe or line, and a damaged silicone means the valve is changed.

Why split septum?

The catalogue notes that the CDC recommends split septum valves in IV therapy to reduce infection risk.
