Interlinked AB Unveils Dual-Use Healthcare Solution for Military and Civilian Use

In a significant advancement for healthcare technology, Interlinked AB has announced that its innovative medical device platform, ReLink®, has received CE-MDR approval as a dual-use solution. This approval allows the platform to be utilized in both civilian healthcare settings and military environments, including emergency preparedness and field hospitals. This strategic move underscores the company's dedication to enhancing patient safety and efficiency in critical medical situations.

The ReLink® system is distinguished by its unique breakaway connector that remains sealed at all times, effectively preventing accidental dislodgement of catheters — a frequent and costly issue in intravenous therapy and drainage. The design features a double-valved mechanism that ensures the device stays closed upon separation, mitigating risks such as spillage and contamination, which can lead to additional care-related complications. This function not only promotes safety but also helps to streamline operations in medical environments where efficiency is paramount.

Katarina Hedbeck, CEO and co-founder of Interlinked AB, emphasized the clinical value of ReLink®, stating, "This is a strategic step for Interlinked. The fact that ReLink® can deliver high safety and functionality in both civilian care and field hospital environments demonstrates the strength of our platform. Our ambition is to promote patient safety — whether care is delivered at a major university hospital or in an emergency preparedness situation. The need is clear, and interest is growing rapidly." Through this approach, Interlinked aims to provide solutions that can adapt to various healthcare needs, especially in high-pressure situations.

The ReLink® platform is already in use across multiple hospitals in various European countries, showcasing its strong track record in clinical settings. By standardizing such a versatile device, the company hopes to drastically improve clinical workflows while also reducing healthcare costs. This is particularly crucial in military and emergency situations, where resources are limited and the stakes are high.

In light of its recent developments, Interlinked AB is eager to collaborate with defense organizations, civil protection agencies, humanitarian medical entities, and international partners to broaden the availability of ReLink®. This initiative reflects the company’s commitment to making a meaningful impact where medical assistance is most needed.
