Texium Closed Male IV Access Systems

Texium is a line of needle-free, closed-system IV access devices designed to reduce clinician exposure to hazardous drugs and protect patients from contamination during intravenous administration. Built for use in oncology, pharmacy compounding, and general infusion settings, Texium components integrate with closed-system transfer devices (CSTDs) to keep hazardous medications enclosed from preparation through delivery.

Clinicians handling chemotherapy and other hazardous drugs face real occupational risk. Texium addresses that risk with a dry, leak-resistant connection: the male luer engages without exposing the fluid path, so drug vapor, aerosol, and liquid stay contained. That closed design supports compliance with USP <800> standards for handling hazardous drugs and helps facilities meet the safe-handling expectations set by NIOSH and organizational safety programs.

A common question from purchasing teams is compatibility. Texium is engineered to work as part of a broader closed-system workflow, connecting with compatible vial-access and syringe-transfer devices to maintain a mechanically closed pathway across each step. That system-level approach matters because a closed transfer device only protects the caregiver and patient when every connection in the chain remains sealed.

Beyond safety, the design prioritizes practical workflow. Needle-free access reduces sharps injuries, swabbable surfaces support quick disinfection between accesses, and the connections are intended to be intuitive so staff can adopt them without lengthy retraining. For facilities standardizing hazardous-drug protocols, consistency across access points reduces error and simplifies staff education.

When evaluating Texium for your facility, consider your existing infusion setup, the drugs you compound and administer, and how the components fit into your current CSTD program. Matching the right connectors and transfer devices to your protocols ensures the closed system performs as intended from pharmacy to bedside.
