Helps to reduce infection risks while efficiently delivering IV medications

Accessing your patient’s IV line through the hub of an open stopcock or manifold may increase the risk of bacterial contamination1

While IV therapy is essential to patient care, accessing your patients' bloodstream may increase the risk of infection. The design of the needlefree stopcocks and manifolds you use can play an important role in minimising contamination and the risk of bloodstream infection.

Using manifolds and stopcocks with Clave needlefree IV connector technology can help minimise infection risks2

ICU Medical's full line of needlefree stopcocks and manifolds feature clinically differentiated Clave infection control technology designed to minimise the risk of contamination by maintaining a closed system. These access ports are ideal for anaesthesiology, oncology, and critical care, where simultaneous fluid delivery is critical.

Clinically differentiated infection control technology

Clave needlefree IV connector technology can help you reduce infection risks by minimising entry points for bacteria and maximising the effectiveness of every flush, while helping you comply with CDC and Infusion Nurses Society (INS) guidelines.1,3

Enhance the safety of IV therapy in your specialty care areas

Using a single connector technology throughout the hospital helps you to minimise clinical training and in-servicing while optimising your supply chain.

Warning: Clave connectors may be incompatible with some male-luer connectors including prefilled glass syringes. To avoid damage to the Clave, syringes or male-luers which may result in delays of medication administration and possible serious adverse events, users should confirm mating luers or syringes have an internal diameter range of 0.062” to 0.110”. Check the internal diameter of the male-luer connector of the mating syringe prior to using it to access the Clave. Products outside of these dimensional tolerances should not be used.
