3M Curos Disinfecting Cap for Tego Hemodialysis Connectors
A disinfecting cap containing 70% isopropyl alcohol, designed to disinfect and protect Tego hemodialysis connectors in one minute to help reduce infection risk.
The 3M Curos Disinfecting Cap for Tego Hemodialysis Connectors, catalogue number CTG1-270, is a port protector designed to disinfect and protect Tego brand hemodialysis connectors in one minute. The cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol, which disinfects the connector surface it is placed over, helping decrease the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infection, or CLABSI, on needleless intravenous connectors used in hemodialysis access.
Passive disinfecting caps like this one are used because manual scrubbing of a connector before each use can be inconsistent between staff members and between uses, whereas a cap that maintains constant alcohol contact with the connector surface between connections offers more reliable, standardised disinfection.
This product is intended for dialysis units, nephrology clinics and hospital departments managing patients with hemodialysis access who need dependable infection prevention for their needleless connectors between sessions.
