Needless Connector

During the venous canalization of a patient for peripheral venous access, needleless connectors (NCs) are required and used. They remain attached to the patient's IV catheter for 3 to 7 days and before and during use, should be cleaned and disinfected. Its usefulness is to maintain an easy venous access for the administration of drugs or to take blood samples . Some NCs have a complex structure and an indirect fluid pathway, so blood or other fluids are less likely to be eliminated or disinfected. When blood or other materials settle on an inner surface of the CN, they can serve as nidus for the development of biofilms and infections in patients.​

What is it about?

We have designed a structure that covers the connector in order to avoid direct contact of the surface that comes in contact with the luer lock or luer liss systems and at the same time minimize the manipulation by the health staff.  On  one hand, this device makes much easier  healthcare staff´s duties who handles it  , and on the other hand, it is safer for both the professional and the patient.
