Elcam News and Operational Update I March 2026

Operational Update #2

We would like to provide a brief follow-up update regarding Elcam Medical Israel’s operations.

All Elcam employees remain safe, and our manufacturing and logistics operations continue to run at full capacity.

During the first week of the current situation, all planned shipments were dispatched as scheduled and deliveries are continuing as expected.
Air freight services have also resumed although currently operating in a limited capacity.
We continue to work closely with our logistics partners to secure available air cargo space while maintaining sea freight as a reliable alternative.

At this stage, we do not anticipate any disruption to our production or supply commitments and will continue to monitor developments closely.

We appreciate your continued trust and partnership and will keep you informed should any significant developments arise.

Snap & Click Manifolds

High-flow I.V. therapy systems, angioplasty procedures, and anesthesia applications require manifolds that meet defined pressure and environmental performance requirements while supporting practical manufacturing considerations.

Traditionally, large-bore and closed manifolds have been bonded using a UV adhesive system, an area where Elcam has developed deep expertise. However, this approach adds bonding and curing stages within the assembly process.

Elcam’s new “Snap & Click” manifold design eliminates adhesives entirely with stopcocks that snap securely into place to form tight, leak-resistant connections designed to withstand pressure and environmental factors. By removing adhesive bonding steps, this configuration supports a cleaner, more efficient assembly process. 

The Snap Manifold is currently under validation and will be available in 3- and 4-gang configurations across Large Bore, Closed, and Marvelous platforms.

SafeT™ Stopcocks

Environmental stress cracking (ESC) can compromise IV components exposed to lipid-based solutions and aggressive drugs, increasing the risk of therapy disruption and potential exposure concerns for clinical staff.

Elcam Medical’s SafeT™ Stopcocks with integrated Eastman Tritan™ copolyester are engineered to support safer, more reliable IV therapy in these environments. By helping minimize ESC, the material preserves mechanical integrity during extended use, helping maintain consistent therapy delivery while supporting a safer handling environment for care teams.

In Elcam’s compatibility evaluation, SafeT™ Stopcocks demonstrated 96-hour resistance to exposure from 10 drugs plus IPA—including Intralipid, Propofol, Cyclosporine, and Phenytoin Sodium—with no leakage observed. SafeT™ Stopcocks and Connectors are also BPA-free and offer post-sterilization color stability for both Gamma and EtO methods.

E-Click™ 45° Detent Indication Stopcock

Confident flow control depends on clear handle positioning. Even minor uncertainty in orientation can interrupt clinician focus during routine procedures. Elcam’s E-Click detent indication stopcock is designed to boost medical teams’ confidence in handle positioning by adding a clear tactile orientation signal. The new ergonomic handle offers improved grip and a distinct tactile stop at every 45° turn, helping users quickly confirm the selected position during routine flow control without relying solely on visual cues.

Built for convenience and ease of use, E-Click is also lipid resistant and supports applications including IV therapy, anesthesia, patient monitoring, and other flow-control needs. It’s available in T-handle configuration with blue, red, or white handle colors and Luer lock connectivity.
