ToxiGuard® Inside

ToxiGuard® drug-binding matrix mechanical barrier.

Healthcare professionals are at risk of occupational exposure to hazardous drugs. Chemfort® ToxiGuard® is a complete, closed solution for hazardous drug exposure.

ToxiGuard® comprises a 100% activated carbon drug binding matrix and a 0.2 μm hydrophobic and oleophobic membrane. This allows the Chemfort® air pathway to let only sterile air inside the vial during drug reconstitution and preparation.

The effectiveness of our patented ToxiGuard® technology is supported by 15 years of excellent science, and peer-reviewed studies.

ToxiGuard® Drug-Binding Matrix Mechanical Barrier CSTD

Located in the Vial Adaptor, the ToxiGuard® Drug-Binding Matrix is a mechanical barrier that physically locks hazardous drug molecules and prevents the release of cytotoxic and other harmful drug vapors, aerosols and droplets into the environment during drug preparation and reconstitution. Additionally, it blocks airborne contaminants and particles from entering the drug or fluid path, ensuring a sterile environment.

    How Does Activated Carbon Keep You Safe?

    Activated carbon, particularly in the cloth form, is the most versatile adsorbent material known. Activated carbon adsorbs aerosols and drug vapors with high efficiency. The activated carbon (charcoal) works in combination with the 0.2 μm hydrophobic and oleophobic membrane. The membrane ensures that the vial is kept sterile by preventing microorganisms and particles from entering from the surrounding environment. It also prevents liquids from the vial from escaping to the outside.

      How Does ToxiGuard® Technology Work?

      The ToxiGuard® dual-action barrier locks in cytotoxic and other harmful drug vapors, aerosols, and droplets — trapping them within its vast network of pores. Simultaneously, it locks out airborne contaminants, including microbes and viruses, by preventing their entry into the drug path. The innovative ToxiGuard® dual-action barrier protects healthcare professionals and the environment while maintaining the sterility of the drug preparation process.

        The Power of ToxiGuard® Inside

        Our patented ToxiGuard® drug binding mechanical barrier enables safe handling and compounding while maintaining drug sterility. ToxiGuard® provides a brilliantly simple drug-delivery solution that reduces the risk of dangerous occupational exposure.

        Don’t compromise on your safety when working with hazardous drugs.

        ToxiGuard® strong active pulling forces continuously draw hazardous drug molecules into the micropores. Strong locking forces capture drug molecules. Physical locking in micropores adsorption mechanism captures hazardous drug molecules. High surface area is capable of adsorbing 12,000L of drug vapors.
