Refacto R2 Kit

 

What are the benefits of the R2 Kit?
The R2 Kit offers:

  • A needle-less reconstitution device
  • A prefilled diluent syringe
  • Simpler preparation* with a distinct vial adapter

The benefits are fewer components,* for a kit that's easy to take with you when you're on the go, and, even more importantly, fewer steps for rapid reconstitution.

*Compared with previous ReFacto reconstitution process.
