DUPLEX® Drug Delivery System

NOT COMPLEX. DUPLEX.

Simplify your hospital's IV administration process from pharmacy to nurse administration while saving time and labor vs. both traditional compounding and the Baxter Mini-Bag Plus Containers.¹

The DUPLEX Drug Delivery System IV container.

Simplify your drug administration process

The DUPLEX Drug Delivery System is a ready-to-activate, two-compartment container that keeps pre-measured medication and diluent separate until you're ready to mix and administer. The closed-system is designed to prevent contamination, protect potency and ensure diluent cannot be delivered without the drug. Without the need for syringes, vials or added steps that slow you down, the DUPLEX Container is designed to save time, labor, space and waste.
