A haemostasis valve is a single-use medical device used to control blood flow during vascular procedures. It connects to a catheter introducer to allow diagnostic or interventional tools to pass through while preventing backflow, ensuring a sterile pathway and reducing bleeding risks.
These valves are typically regulated as single-use devices and are not intended for reuse. They are supplied as standalone components or as part of a kit, often including accessories like guidewire introducers, and are designed for temporary use in clinical settings.
