At EQUASHIELD®, we prioritize safety and operational excellence in the healthcare field. Our solutions are engineered to prevent errors, enhance nurse, pharmacist, and patient safety, and streamline workflows—all with cutting-edge technology and user centered design.
CSTD design affects its ability to be safe and effective
Membrane based systems are typically better at leakage prevention than Luer based CSTDs. Testing data consistently highlights EQUASHIELD® as a top performer among membrane-based solutions, effectively preventing microbial ingress.7
Filter based technologies are not mechanically closed, therefore they are not air tight. Mechanical based technologies are designed to ensure an airtight and leak-proof seal through robust physical barriers.
A closed-back design provides significant safety benefits, including effective containment of vapors and prevention of their release.8 It also safeguards the syringe plunger and barrel from contamination. EQUASHIELD® is the only solution on the market featuring a closed-back design.
EQUASHIELD® Syringe Units maintain a closed pressure equalization that prevents the escape of vapors and aerosols during compounding and administration. A unique dual-needle, air-to-liquid exchange system, combined with a closed-back sterile air chamber behind the syringe, ensures that pressure is equalized throughout the hazardous drug handling process.
EQUASHIELD®’s Vial Adaptor firmly snaps onto a standard vial with a unique mechanism that prevents angled or non-centered spiking. The vial adaptor provides a safe and contamination-free vial access port for the Syringe Unit. The vial adaptor’s elastomeric membrane serves as a microbial barrier preventing microbial ingress, while remaining drug residue-free for up to 10 repeated connections in 7 days.
EQUASHIELD’s Spike Adaptors are designed to seamlessly connect standard IV bags to tubing sets, ensuring the safe transfer of hazardous drugs. Engineered with precision, they empower healthcare professionals to compound and administer medications with confidence and ease.
EQUASHIELD® Female Connectors convert standard luer lock ports into a leak-free closed system, ensuring safe and residue-free handling of hazardous drugs. Designed for secure connections and disconnections, they prioritize safety and reliability.
EQUASHIELD® Luer Lock Adaptors ensure a secure connection to patient lines, enabling safe injections with the EQUASHIELD® Syringe Unit or controlled infusions using a female connector. Compatible with any standard luer lock access port, these adaptors are meticulously designed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient administration of hazardous drugs.

Our patented closed back design is leakproof and airtight
EQUASHIELD® covers more routes of exposure than alternative systems. Backed by a continually growing library of peer-reviewed and independent clinical studies, our solution ensures leakproof performance, microbial protection, vapor containment, and minimizes surface contamination.
EQUASHIELD® CSTD design makes safety simple
Ergonomic design
Ergonomically designed with push on connections vs twist connections. This minimizes repetitive motion injuries (RSIs), reducing the risk of joint pain and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Fail proof connections with red to red markings
Intuitive red markings serve as an alignment indicator, ensuring accurate and secure connections every time.
Pre-assembled components
Pre-assembled Syringe Units and connectors save time and effort. The connector is securely bonded to the Syringe Unit and locking connectors, featuring a needle- free design to prevent accidental needle sticks and disconnects.
No external mechanisms required
EQUASHIELD®’s innovative design streamlines the compounding process by eliminating the need for balloons or external mechanisms required by other systems.
