Summary

A study to evaluate a needle-free connector (a stopper) featuring anti-reflux technology (to prevent blood from flowing back) for catheters (polyurethane tubes inserted into a vein), with the aim of reducing complications associated with these devices: blockages, infections, pain, etc.

Conditions

  • Vascular Access Devices
  • Catheters
  • Occlusion
  • Thrombosis
  • Randomised Controlled Trial

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Needle-free connector with neutral fluid displacement and without anti-reflux technology
