Abstract
A coupler for use in a closed transfer system is provided. The coupler includes a body with an axial slot, an outlet, and a probe that extends from a first end portion to a second end portion and at least partially received within the body, the probe configured to be movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position to selectively control the flow of fluid through the outlet. A handle is coupled to the probe and configured to interface with the axial slot, wherein the handle is configured to move axially along the axial slot to move the probe between the first position and the second position.

A coupler for use in a closed transfer system configured to selectively engage a container seated in fluid communication with the coupler, the coupler comprising:
- a body with an axial slot;
- an outlet;
- a probe that extends from a first end portion to a second end portion and at least partially received within the body, the probe configured to be movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position to selectively control the flow of fluid through the outlet;
- and
- a handle coupled to the probe and configured to interface with the axial slot, wherein the handle is configured to move axially along the axial slot to move the probe between the first position and the second position.
A coupler for use in a closed transfer system, the coupler comprising:
- a body with an axial slot;
- an outlet;
- a probe with an inlet near a first end of the probe, the probe at least partially received within the body and axially movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position to provide selective fluid communication through the outlet;
- and
- a handle coupled to the probe and configured to move within the axial slot, wherein movement of the handle within the axial slot causes movement of the probe within the body.
