The advantages of needleless connectors mainly include the following aspects:
Reducing needlestick injuries: Needleless connectors do not need to contact sharp objects when used, which can effectively avoid needlestick injuries of medical staff and reduce the risk of occupational exposure.
Reducing infection risks: Needleless connectors can reduce the contamination of infusion bottles and infusion tubes, and reduce the incidence of infection and phlebitis. In addition, the positive pressure interface generates positive pressure after the tube is sealed, which can reduce the occurrence of tube blockage caused by blood reflux.
Improve patient comfort: Needleless connectors use the principle of pressure difference for infusion, which is smooth and uniform. Patients are more comfortable during use and can reduce the symptoms of infusion syndrome (HS). At the same time, patients no longer need to endure the pain caused by needle puncture, and there will be no problems such as needle dislocation and infusion failure.
Reducing drug extravasation and pain: Needleless connectors can reduce drug extravasation and relieve patients' pain.
Improve infusion efficiency: The needleless connector design makes the connection between the infusion set and the catheter end more secure, not easy to fall off, and more convenient to connect and remove. In addition, the liquid flows quickly, ensuring effective treatment.
Reduce the risk of medical accidents: Needle-free connectors reduce the risk of medical accidents and cross-infection, and improve the efficiency and quality of the medical system.
