Abstract
A probe for a closed transfer system, the probe including a probe body and a probe tip. The probe body defines an inlet, an outlet, and a plurality of channels. The outlet is in fluid communication with the inlet via at least one of the plurality of channels. The probe tip is located at a top end of the probe body and defines a first passageway. The first passageway is in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of channels. The probe body is configured to be slidably moveable within a coupler body between a first position where the probe tip is received within the coupler body and a second position where the probe tip extends at least partially away from the coupler body to open a fluid flow path through the coupler body.
