Needle-free protection against CRBSIs
Patient safety is paramount, and B. Braun designed the needle-free ULTRAPORT series in response to growing concerns about stopcock contamination. Research shows that infection control measures in the anesthesia work area may help reduce infections.
- Furthermore, disinfectable needle-free connectors are more effective than conventional caps in preventing the passage of microorganisms in the catheter lumen.
- B. Braun’s ULTRAPORT™ luer-activated high-flow stopcocks and ULTRAPORT™ Zer0 one-piece closed system stopcocks offer revolutionary benefits that are designed to prevent contamination and leaks without caps.
The ULTRAPORT design:
- Incorporates a standard stopcock with needle-free swabbable valves, so no add-ons are needed.
- Avoids leaks if handle is inadvertently left open.
- Eliminates caps, reducing set changes.
- Transfers with the patient post-operatively
