3M Curos Disinfecting Cap for Needleless Connectors
A disinfecting cap containing 70% isopropyl alcohol, designed to disinfect and protect needleless IV connectors in one minute to help reduce infection risk.
The 3M Curos Disinfecting Cap for Needleless Connectors is a port protector used to disinfect and protect intravenous needleless connectors in one minute. Each cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol, which maintains contact with the connector surface between uses, helping decrease the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection, or CLABSI, associated with needleless connectors used for intravenous therapy.
Because the cap disinfects passively while in place, it offers a more consistent alternative to manual scrubbing of the connector before each access, which can vary in thoroughness between different members of staff and between different occasions of use. This product is stocked under two catalogue numbers within this listing, likely reflecting different pack sizes or cap configurations.
It is intended for hospital wards, infusion clinics and any healthcare setting managing patients with intravenous lines who need dependable, standardised connector disinfection between uses to support infection prevention protocols.
