Jul 25 2016 Needleless connectors NCs are essential devices which connect to the end of vascular catheters and enable catheter access for infusion and aspiration. There are various different designs which make it difficult for purchasers to identify the features which present the least risk and greatest safety. The NC is the microbial gatekeeper for
Jul 29 2021 INS now recommends standardizing the type of needleless connector within the organization to reduce the risk for confusion about user dependent sequences and improve clinical outcomes. Given the wide variety of NCs available standardizing will be essential to reduce confusion and lead to longer dwell times fewer complications and lower costs.

Dec 02 2019 In the critically ill catheter related bloodstream infection can result from bacterial contamination of infusion hubs of intravascular catheters. Needle free connectors NFC have been suggested to reduce the rate of bacterial contamination and subsequent catheter related bloodstream infection CRBSI but data remains ambiguous. Thus we tested if a novel NFC
Background . Needleless connectors NC are used on virtually all intravascular devices providing an easy access point for infusion connection. Colonization of NC is considered the cause of 50 of postinsertion catheter related infections. Breaks in aseptic technique from failure to disinfect result in contamination and subsequent biofilm formation within NC and catheters
The MaxPlus needleless connector features our patented positive displacement technology which provides a bolus of fluid to clear the catheter tip upon disconnection from the device. This clears the catheter and locks it against retrograde blood reducing the risk of

Designed to reduce the potential for catheter related complications and unscheduled restarts and to reduce costs Needleless Connectors Needleless connectors offer a safe way to access IV lines without the use of a needle which greatly reduces the risk of accidental needlestick injuries.
CLAVE is the only Needlefree Connector technology which has been proven to reduce intraluminal catheter colonization in a randomized trial Bouza 2003 . The reversed split septum technology and dedicated internal fluid path are the heart of what makes the CLAVE least likely to transmit bacteria than any other needlefree connector Ryder 2007 .
Nov 01 2021 The introduction of needleless connectors NCs was undertaken specifically to remove needles from clinical practice so as to reduce healthcare worker needlestick injuries 1 . This was successful with NCs now the access mechanism for administration of fluids and medications for nearly all intravascular devices 2 .
