Thanks to its Twincap port system, the Ecoflac® plus  helps facilitate handling and improve performance during the drug preparation process. The two separated and identical germ-free ports on the Twincap can be used for either drug preparation or delivery. A variety of dedicated and on-dedicated needle-free admixture devices can be used in combination with Ecoflac® plus to add safety and efficiency to your drug preparation processes.

Preparation with needle and syringe

The large neck ring area around the Twincap port is made of a puncture-resistant plastic to help prevent needlestick injuries or inadvertent piercing of the container in case a needle is used. To add safety to your drug preparation processes and help prevent the risk of sharps injuries, we recommend the use of our Sterican® MIX semi-blunt needle.

Preparation with dispensing pin

Mini-Spike® 2 is a vented dispensing pin for injecting and withdrawing fluids from medication vials and fluid containers. Its integrated air-venting channel automates the pressure-balancing process. The swabbable valve on Mini-Spike® 2 also aims at facilitating disinfection for multiple accesses.

Preparation with transfer device

Ecoflac® Mix is a dedicated transfer cap for transferring fluids between an Ecoflac® plus container and a single dose medication vial. It provides a stable connection between the container and the vial and is especially designed to be used in combination with Ecoflac® plus.

Preparation with Closed system device

Ecoflac® Connect is a dedicated closed system admixture device for transferring fluids between an Ecoflac® plus container and a single dose medication vial. As a closed system, it aims at reducing the risk of contamination of the medication and preventing healthcare professionals exposure to potentially toxic medication. The fact that the vial remains connected with the system all along the infusion helps reduce the risk of medication error.
