Abstract
An adapter device (1) for reducing or eliminating the potential bacterial contamination in a process of extraction or transfer of blood components from at least one container (3) to a recipient or any applicable destination, thereby increasing user safety, that comprises a body (2) provided with at least one first area (2a) designed to be approached or attached to at least one container (3) and at least one second area (2b) designed to remain accessible to the exterior, and at least one needle (7) that projects from each first area (2a) and is capable of piercing a pierceable area (3a) of a container (3). The needle (7) presents an inner tube (8) that communicates with an inner tube (9) of the body (2), which in turn leads to an opening (4) in a second area (2b), and at least one flexible part (10) that maintains each inner tube (9) of the body (2) closed.
