Background

Developed for Our Systems
Now Available for Yours

The Single-Use Pinch Valve was originally developed to meetDrM’s own demanding requirements for reliable, sterile fluid control for elevated pressures and larger diameters. When no suitable solution was available on the market, we engineered our own and it now stands as a robust, standalone product available for integration into third party systems.
