It is an indispensable additional device to connect the infusion channel (indwelling needle, CVC, PICC, etc.) into the patient's blood vessel and infusion set or syringe. In the era of needle-free infusion joints, the connection method of the steel needle puncture rubber plug was cancelled, and the needle system was changed to a needle-free system. After disconnecting the infusion set or the syringe, a closed and wipeable sterile infusion system can be guaranteed. The advantage is that there is no need to use needles to avoid the occurrence of needle stick injuries by medical staff.
Main points of care in the use of needleless infusion joints
1. Use appropriate disinfectant (75% ethanol, iodophor, 2% chlorhexidine) to wipe the cross-section and periphery of various interfaces to ensure the safety of the connection between the sterile infusion connector and the catheter.
