Marvelous™

Marvelous™ is the first minimal residual volume luer-activated stopcock designed to save time and increase safety with two main features: self-flushing and closed & swabbable luer-activated valve (LAV).
The Marvelous two main features both contribute to patient and caregiver safety and workflow improvement:
The LAV serves as a bacterial barrier, allowing access to the line without opening it and producing a closed system and needle-free injection site.
The fluid flow around the handle creates a unique “circumferential channel” that reaches the entire internal volume of the valve. Whether a drug or blood, the internal volume is constantly flushed by the in-line flow providing greater protection against blood clotting, bacterial colonization and residual drugs related complications.
Furthermore, the Marvelous improves work flow, saves precious time and reduces costs

Closed Swabbable Stopcock

Closed Swabbable Stopcock

A Closed Stopcock, integrated with a Swabbable Luer Activated Valve, allowing for maintenance of a fully closed system through the entire use of the stopcock, as well as a needle free work environment.  Elcam’s Closed stopcock enhances patient safety by providing full barrier protection against microbial and air ingress, thereby reducing the risks of infections and air embolism. This stopcock also improves caregiver safety by preventing needle stick injuries and avoiding drug and blood spills. It improves workflow by replacing the need to add a cap or LAV on a stopcock and eliminates the need for additional adaptors or cannulas

Customer Satisfaction Survey

Customer Satisfaction Survey

Like every year we have sent you Elcam’s annual customer satisfaction survey in December and have recently finished summarizing its results.
We would like to thank all of you that took the time to answer the questions and help us with Elcam’s consistent efforts to improve its services.

This year we received lower results than in previous years in terms of responsiveness time and on time delivery for both long lead-time and not meeting delivery dates. Elcam is well aware of this situation which is mainly related to major changes and peaks in demand as well as to the worldwide logistic crisis.
On the other hand, Elcam continues to score very high in terms of product quality and our customers continue to appreciate Elcam’s quality regardless their satisfactions in other aspects of our services.

Our Net Promoter Score (NPS score) measured annually representing the customers loyalty levels (a positive score is considered good, and an NPS of +50 excellent), respectively decreased in 2022 to 50% but is still in the positive range.
Amir Bohadana, Executive Sales Director, elaborated: “Your important feedback together with the challenges we faced during 2022, have increased our motivation to take the necessary actions to keep our services at top level. This need was acknowledged by Elcam’s management and became one of our main topics in the 2023 plan”.
