Multiple devices are currently available but the op- timal design for preventing infections is unresolved. Baxter Healthcare which is designed to connect an administration set or extension set to a vascular catheter. Non-antimicrobial connectors differ on colony forming unit counts in vitro for four types of bacteria.
The original purpose of needleless connectors was to prevent needlestick injuries during intermittent use. Initially connecting tubing to the catheter inserted into the patient was done by spiking a needle into a connector on the catheter. Physicians now have the option of connecting the tubing to the inserted.
The novel antimicrobial needleless connector. Antimicrobial needleless connectors represent a significantly less costly alternative to antimicrobial catheters however there is little. NEEDLELESS CONNECTORSNeedleless connectors provide needleless access at the hub end of the catheter for intravenous medication administration fluid infusion or withdrawal of blood samples or to connect administration sets to the intravascular catheters.
