It's science
Thanks to EQUASHIELD®'s devices, the typical risks associated with the drug compounding process are reduced, creating a secure, comfortable environment for you and your pharmacy staff. Traditional open-back syringes have long left pharmacists under-protected, exposed to contaminants, and at potential risk of long-term health complications. Enhanced safety is achievable without compromising efficiency.

Fully-Closed
A fully preassembled syringe with welded connector eliminates a need for additional setup and a traditional syringe.
Our syringe prevents accidental luer disconnections to avoid spills and exposure.
Plunger rod can never be detached from the syringe, thus preventing spills.
The system saves valuable set up time by eliminating a need to open additional packages, drawing up air or assembling components.

Leak Free
Our Syringe Unit works in tandem with easy-to-use single motion connectors that remain dry and free of drug residuals on our membrane surfaces, preventing leaks.

Secure
Starting with our seamlessly designed closed-back Syringe Unit with welded connector, through our family of components that lock and spin, we provide highly secure compounding solutions. A unique design prevents accidental disconnections and eliminates the need to manually luer on a connector to a traditional open-back syringe.

Syringe Unit
EQUASHIELD®’s fully encapsulated Syringe Units prevent syringe plunger contamination caused by hazardous drug handling. The system is equipped with a built-in closed pressure equalization with sterile air. The connector is permanently bonded onto the syringe body preventing accidental disconnections and house shielded needles to prevent the risk of accidental needle sticks.

Spike Adaptor
EQUASHIELD®’s Spike Adaptors are designed to firmly connect between any standard IV bag and tubing set, enabling the safe transfer of medication dose into the IV Bag. Recognizing that there are variations among various IV Bag manufacturers and that no one IV port fits all bags, EQUASHIELD® produces two Spike Adaptors, SA-1T for regular ports and SA-1 for larger ports. On the other hand, the SA-W is designed for safe and cost-effective withdrawal of diluent for reconstitution with Syringe Units (SU).

Vial Adaptor
EQUASHIELD®s Vial Adaptor firmly snaps onto a standard vial, providing a safe and contamination-free vial access port for the Syringe Unit. As part of EQUASHIELD®’s connector system, the vial adaptor’s elastomeric membrane serves a dual purpose; to serve as a microbial barrier preventing microbial ingress for up to 7 days and to remain drug residue-free for 10 repeated connections.

Assessing the Efficiency of CSTDs for Compounding
Ensuring the safe handling of hazardous drugs (HDs) must be a primary concern for every health care worker who comes into contact with these medications. Given the inherent risk involved in administrating hazardous drugs, a fully closed system provides healthcare workers with protection and peace of mind.
Specs
Fully-Closed
The EQUASHIELD® Syringe Unit is the only closed-back Syringe Unit that contains hazardous vapor within the unit itself vs. air-cleaning technology and/or open back syringes.
Secure
Starting with our seamlessly designed closed-back Syringe Unit with welded connector, through our family of components that lock and spin, we provide highly secure compounding solutions. A unique design prevents accidental disconnections and eliminates the need to manually luer on a connector to a traditional open-back syringe.
Time Saving
Peer-reviewed studies demonstrate efficiencies and time saving benefits achieved by user-friendly design and ergonomics. For example, our proprietary Syringe Unit is available in two 60 mL configurations, both allowing for full volume use, without repetitive steps or accidental disconnections.
