Prosyte™ Neu Needle Free Connector Neutral Displacement
Key Features
- Demonstrates minimum blood reflux from moving into the catheter lumen upon connection or disconnection” which reduces incidences of catheter occlusion as compared to negative & positive displacement devices 1
- The Anti reflux action in connector helps maintain line patency ,prevents blood from entering into catheter thus there is less need to remember clamping sequence 2
- Transparent connector body to assess visible fluid pathway which ensures that flushing leaves the housing free of visible blood and prevent blood borne contamination risk 3
- Simple Design delivering Straight fluid path reduces microbial ingress
- Split Septum Technology with no moving parts reduces the internal surface for biofilm formation 4a
- Less residual volume ensures adequate flushing 4b
- No risk of haemolysis during blood draws 4c
