At Interlinked , we believe in advancing patient safety and reducing medical errors in healthcare. We work to improve people's lives by providing needs-based smart and innovative solutions for the global healthcare industry. ReLink is an advanced breakaway connector for IV lines, designed to prevent patient injuries, spill of hazardous drugs, and reduce overall complications and costs associated with IV catheter complications. ReLink is the starting block to a series of products offering solutions within IV therapy.

Healthcare professionals see great value in our solution, suggesting it could help avoid additional treatments and invasive procedures.
Two main factors drive ReLink's potential: the massive scale of IV therapy, with 16 billion IV lines used every year, and the growing shortage of nurses.
