Y infusion connector Tego™

Designed to help protect your patients’ catheters from contamination and increased risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) during hemodialysis and apheresis applications Use of Tego 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. Help protect your patients’ hemodialysis catheters from contamination and minimize the risk of CRBSIs The Tego needlefree hemodialysis connector creates a closed system when attached to the hub of a catheter to minimize 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 minimize overall hemodialysis costs by reducing heparin use. Functional Attributes Straight fluid path accommodates flow rates of greater than 600 mL/min Remains in place during the entire hemodialysis treatment period Validated for continuous patient use for up to 7 days Silicone seal remains closed when not activated, closing the fluid path Clinical Advantages Use of Tego was shown to be associated with a 10-12% reduction in CRBSIs Tego 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.
