Ecoflac® plus is compatible to all common IV spikes, providing a secure connection between the container and the infusion set. The IV container is easy to spike while standing. During the infusion, Ecoflac® plus collapses fully without need for external venting, allowing for closed system administration.
Infusion set insertion
The Ecoflac® plus design allows it to stand straight, in order to allows easy and safe spiking. This helps reduce the risk of sharps injuries. The port membrane of the Twincap is re-sealable, reducing the risk of chemical and microbial contamination.
Handling Poster
Tightness of connection
The Ecoflac® plus Twincap port provides a good holding force between the container and the infusion spike, in order to help prevent any risk of accidental disconnection, even with siliconized spikes. Once inserted, the spike stays firmly connected to the container.
Closed system infusion
The design of the Ecoflac® plus allows complete emptying of the container without external venting. This closed system helps reduce the risks of contamination of the solution[1] [2] [3]. With Ecoflac® plus, a constant level flow rate is delivered to the patient overtime, to help improve infusion monitoring and patient safety. The graduation scale on the label is designed to be easy to read and show accurately the delivered volume.
