The Hub is a Source of Contamination |
|
|
 |
It has been
demonstrated that a principle source of catheter contamination
results from manipulation of the catheter hub. |
|
 |
Up to 23% of entry
ports are contaminated with micro-organisms during use,
including luer activated valves. |
|
 |
In less than
twenty-four hours, 63% of stopcocks become infected. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Microbiologically and Mechanically Closed System |
|
|
 |
Due to its unique
fluid pathway, the CLAVE Connector has been demonstrated to act
as an effective barrier against microbial contamination. |
|
 |
The CLAVE system has
demonstrated that it significantly protected the catheter hub
from colonization which can otherwise lead to bloodstream
infection. |
|
 |
It has been
demonstrated that bloodstream infections are associated with
other traditional needleless systems and luer activated valves. |

A System Should be Cost Effective & Compliment Your IV Practice |
|
 |
Studies have
compared the CLAVE system with similar products and found the
CLAVE to be 30% more cost-effective. |
|
 |
Using a needleless
device that compliments your IV practice is important to avoid
an increase in BSI rates. |
