Advantages
Easy To:
Visually Inspect - With a clear outer housing that allows visible flush confirmation, and an open fluid path that has no fluid entrapment areas. The outside housing of a needleless connector can be defined as opaque, clear or partially visible. Depending on the design this determines how much, if any, of the internal fluid path can be seen. A needleless connector with a clear outer housing allows the clinician to visually assess and confirm a proper flush has been performed. The ability to flush a needleless connector clear of blood and other infusates is vitally important.
- Clear housing allows for visible flush confirmation
- Open fluid path provides no fluid entrapment areas
Clean - It is imperative to disinfect all needleless connectors with an approved antiseptic and well defined protocol before each access. Nevertheless, it has been show that roughly 31% of nurses do not disinfect needleless connectors before using them (T. Karchmer Study, 2005 SHEA Conference). A flat, smooth access site top can help clinicians facilitate effective cleaning of needleless connectors.
- Smooth access surface is easy to clean and disinfect
- Refer to educational material (CS04) for full disinfection instructions of CARESITE LAD
- Best practices and proper aseptic technique is important when accessing any type of needleless connector
Connect - During connection a clinician's fingers can slip toward the female luer area (access site top), thus leading to touch contamination concerns of the syringe and access surface. Needleless connectors should provide a firm grip and help prevent fingers from slipping toward the access site. Minimal connection force allows for quicker and easier access.
- Force comparison chart shows the ease of connection compared to other common needleless connectors
Grip - The ergonomic design is ideal for clinician handling and patient comfort, offering an easy-grip barrel designed to minimize slips and touch contamination.
