Elcam Devices™

The Elcam Devices product line represents Elcam’s commitment to the OEM market and our obligation to remain innovative and current in providing differentiating solutions for safe and effective flow control needs.

This sub-brand includes 3 main sections of our product lines – Patient Monitoring, Medication Delivery, and Interventional Procedures.

Elcam’s Y-Click connector was designed in collaboration with interventional experts with this need in mind – to provide a hemostatic solution for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures and other diagnostic and interventional applications.
Its most unique advantages – three working positions, self-closing mechanism and one-handed operation, make the Y-Click connector an easy-to-use hemostatic device that improves physicians’ performances
