Closed system drug transfer device

A closed system drug transfer device or "CSTD" is a drug transfer device that mechanically prohibits the transfer of environmental contaminants into a system and the escape of hazardous drug or vapor concentrations outside the system. Open versus closed systems are commonly applied in medical devices to maintain the sterility of a fluid pathway. CSTDs work by preventing the uncontrolled inflow and outflow of contaminants and drugs, preserving the quality of solution to be infused into a patient. Theor

CLOSED-SYSTEM DRUG TRANSFER DEVICES

CSTDs appear to reduce environmental contamination of hazardous drugs and consequently worker''s exposure to these drugs, but it is not clear whether or not this translates to a reduction in clinical
