High Flow Marvelous™: Faster Flow for Critical Needs

Responding to demand for a closed, swabbable stopcock that supports higher flow rates for applications like volume resuscitation and blood transfusion, we’re introducing High Flow (HF) Marvelous™, the latest generation of Elcam’s innovative stopcock.

What’s new:

• Higher flow rates (500ml/min) in the all-open position
• Redesigned handle and cap for improved grip
• Improved valve thread for secure syringe and luer lock connections

As part of the Marvelous™ family, HF Marvelous™ offers closed-system protection to reduce bacterial and air ingress, continuous in-line flushing to minimize residual volume, reliable pressure monitoring, simple closed-system blood sampling, universal Luer compatibility, and swab-and-use convenience.

HF Marvelous™ gives OEM partners a differentiated option for moments when speed, safety, and simplicity all need to work together without compromise.
