Description

The vial adapter is a specialized medical device designed to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of fluids from vials during drug preparation or reconstitution. It serves as a needle-free interface that connects a syringe or IV set to a medication vial, reducing the risk of needlestick injuries and ensuring aseptic technique during access.

This adapter is equipped with a spike for secure vial penetration and a 0.2-micron air-eliminating filter that provides critical protection against airborne contaminants. The filter allows the expulsion of displaced air while preventing the entry of microbial particles, thereby maintaining sterility throughout the fluid transfer process.

Its needle-free mechanism helps reduce cross-contamination risks, making it particularly useful in high-throughput clinical settings where multiple vial accesses are required. The adapter's structure also supports closed-system functionality, reducing exposure to hazardous medications, especially in chemotherapy or biohazard drug handling environments.
