DualCap® is a sterile, single-use device containing two disinfecting caps – one for the needleless injection site (NIS) and one for the end of the IV tubing (male luer). Each cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol and a patent-pending delivery mechanism. DualCap has been proven to significantly reduce the bacterial contamination associated with catheter-related blood stream infections. (Data on file)
For the first time, there is a technology that safely disinfects both the NIS and the male luer. By protecting both access points, DualCap helps to prevent intraluminal contamination, the most common way IV connectors contribute to infections. With a national focus on the issue, there is increasing pressure to find cost-effective ways to decrease infection rates.
DualCap is a new technology that helps healthcare facilities:
- Keep IV connections disinfected from the start
- Protect and disinfect luer access valves (needleless injection sites) and male luers
DualCap is easy-to-use:
- No swabbing
- Saves time
DualCap standardizes IV care:
- Product is the protocol
- Visual compliance assurance
- CDC and NPSG guideline conformity
