Designed to help protect your patients’ catheters from contamination and increased risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) during haemodialysis and apheresis applications
- Use of Tego connector was shown to be associated with a 10-12% reduction in CRBSIs.
- Straight fluid path accommodates flow rates of > 600 mL/min.
- Validated for continuous patient use for up to 7 days.
The Tego needlefree haemodialysis connector creates a closed system when attached to the hub of a catheter to minimise contamination and help reduce the risk of CRBSIs. Tego’s saline flush option is designed to help reduce the risk of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and helps you minimise overall haemodialysis costs by reducing heparin use.
Tego Connector Functional Attributes:
- Straight fluid path accommodates flow rates of greater than 600 mL/min
- Remains in place during the entire haemodialysis treatment period
- Validated for continuous patient use for up to 7 days
- Silicone seal remains closed when not activated, closing the fluid path
Tego Hemodialysis Connector Clinical Advantages:
- Use of Tego was shown to be associated with a 10-12% reduction in CRBSIs1
- Tego Needlefree Hemodialysis Connector is a needle-free capping device which closes the end of a catheter, creating a mechanically closed system, prohibiting microbial ingress when attached to the hub of a catheter. Tego will permit access to the catheter without the use of needles, and therefore passively aid in the reduction of needlestick injuries.
- Tego's saline flush option helps to reduce risks and costs associated with heparin use.
Accessing the Fluid Path:
- When Tego Needlefree Hemodialysis Connector is not being accessed, the silicone seal forms a swabbable barrier to bacterial ingress.
- Attaching a dialysis bloodline to Tego activates the straight internal fluid path and creates a mechanically closed system, prohibiting microbial ingress.
