Model Clave IV -IV Connector Technology
Chosen more often than any other to provide an effective barrier against bacterial transfer and standardize clinical protocols for all patients and care areas. Help enhance safety and efficiency by choosing industry-leading infection control technology. When you choose ICU Medical needlefree IV sets and connectors with patented Clave™ technology, you get an effective barrier against bacterial transfer and colonization designed to help reduce the risk of bloodstream infections. And since the same clinical protocol is used with all patient populations, you can standardize on a single connector technology wherever care is given, letting you minimize clinical training and in-servicing and provide enhanced patient safety throughout your facilities while optimizing your supply chain.
Market-leading needlefree IV connector technology
- Help Reduce Infection Risks
- Standardize Clinical Protocols
- Optimize Supply of IV Consumables
Intravenous therapy is essential to patient care, but accessing your patient’s bloodstream may increase the risk of infection. Proven Clave needlefree IV connector technology can be an important element in your efforts to help minimize the risk of bloodstream infections.
Each of ICU Medical’s needlefree connectors utilizes the same Clave infection control technology, designed to enhance patient safety. Clave’s straight fluid path and minimal residual volume help maximize the effectiveness of every flush.
Clave helps minimize entry points for bacteria and maximize the effectiveness of each flushIn a comprehensive study comparing 20 different needlefree IV connectors researchers reported ICU Medical’s connectors featuring Clave technology were “shown to have a significantly lower bacterial transfer rate than any of the other connectors tested.
ICU Medical’s Clave technology outperforms the BD MaxPlus™, and Baxter Clearlink™ connectors as determined by the total flush volume needed to clear the connectors of residual blood elements.
Clave technology helps enhance patient and clinician safety by using a single, clinically-preferred connector technology throughout the hospital so you can minimize clinical training and in-servicing while optimizing your supply chain.
