FLOLINK Positive Displacement Valve

Simple to swab—The flat, smooth surface is easily swabbed. This helps to prevent contamination, which can lead to infection.
Safe—Positive displacement minimizes fluid back flow and helps to maintain catheter patency.
Easy to use—FLOLINK can be used with a saline-only flush - heparin is not required to maintain catheter patency.

	SAFE FOR PATIENTS/CLINICIANS	EASY FOR CLINICIANS
Dual-seal design	Provides effective microbial barrier	Prevents leakage
Saline-only flush (heparin optional)	Eliminates risk of heparin-induced antibody reactions	One less step required
Smooth, flat surface with no crevices	Decreases risk of contamination	Easy to swab and disinfect
No interstitial space	No place within the valve where blood or fluid can become permanently trapped	Easy to flush
Positive fluid pulse	Reduces potential for occlusions, thus minimizing need to replace IV lines	Eliminates need for positive pressure flush technique (no clamping required during flush) Allows direct connection to catheter
Non-latex, Non-DEHP	Safe for latex sensitive patients; addresses DEHP concerns
Needleless system	Reduces risk of needlesticks
High flow rate (Avg. 10.4 L/Hr)*	Allows for rapid fluid delivery
Lipid and blood compatible	Flexible, single system for fluid delivery
No metal components	MRI compatible
Appropriate for central and peripheral lines	Simplifies training

*Tested at 39" head height with Baxter standard bore tubing and a two-piece Luer lock connector.
