Hazardous Drug Solutions

The BD PhaSeal™ System pioneered closed-system drug-transfer devices (CSTDs) to protect healthcare workers from exposure to hazardous drugs during preparation and administration, while supporting safer workflows in pharmacy and clinical settings. Backed by decades of innovation, the system continues to evolve to help meet the needs of frontline users.

The BD PhaSeal™ System pioneered closed-system drug-transfer devices (CSTDs) over 20 years ago. Our second-generation, BD PhaSeal™ Optima, evolved through direct feedback from frontline users and was designed with features such as double membranes and vapour capture mechanisms to help protect healthcare workers from repeated exposure to hazardous drugs. Independent research published in the Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice shows the BD® PhaSeal™ Family outperforms competing CSTDs in containing vapours during preparation and administration.
