Needle-Free Technology:
-
The Clearlink valve is mechanically actuated
-
When a male luer adapter (from a syringe or an IV set) is inserted, it pushes a silicone membrane apart, creating an open fluid path
-
This design significantly reduces the risk of needlestick injuries for healthcare workers and helps minimize the risk of contamination

-
This is a critical feature, especially in pediatric and critical care settings, as it helps ensure precise medication delivery and minimizes drug waste
