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.
