The Lopez Valve is a stopcock like device that allows you to simultaneously hook up feeds, meds, and drainage systems, while allowing the health care worker to access enteral systems without breaking open the lines. The white “dial” allows you to turn the different ports off (closed) or on (open) and caps are provided for unnecessary ports. This is also quite small and handy to use.
This closed system protects the health care worker from exposure to bodily fluids that may carry blood borne pathogens such as HIV and Hepatitis C.
