3M™ Curos™ Disinfecting Cap for Needleless Connectors is an alcohol-containing cap that twists onto ports for disinfection and protection. Each Curos cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) which bathes the surface of the port and disinfects it in 1 minute. Consistent use of Curos disinfecting caps on I.V. needleless connectors is associated with decreased CLABSI.
- Disinfects in 1 minute. Protects I.V. access points for up to 7 days if not removed.
- Helps reduce the risk of contaminants from entering the I.V. port through the catheter, post-insertion.
- Brightly coloured to help clinicians verify and measure compliance.
- Twists on easily and stays securely in place on commonly used needleless connectors.
- In vitro testing shows effectiveness against the six microorganisms commonly associated with CLABSI: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida glabrata, and Candida albicans
- For single use only.
