Universal, Needle-Free Admixture Device for Immediate Use Medication Preparation¹ 

West Vial2Bag Advanced® Admixture Devices enable reconstitution and transfer of a drug between a vial and an IV bag using an integrated adapter prior to administration to the patient. This easy-to-use, innovative needle-free design is ideal for immediate use and can optimize pharmacy clean room time, while assisting in standardizing admixture procedures to maximize efficiency for point of care nursing.
