3M Curos Disinfecting Caps for Needleless Port Connectors 270/Box CFF1

3M CFF1 Curos Disinfecting Caps are a type of device used to disinfect and protect needleless port connectors on medical equipment. They are small caps that fit over the end of the port and contain a disinfecting solution. These caps are designed to help prevent the spread of infection by killing or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the surface of the port. The caps are typically used before and after each use of the port, and can remain in place for up to 7 days. They are often used in healthcare settings, such as hospitals and clinics, to protect against the transmission of bacteria, viruses, and other harmful pathogens. Some key features of 3M Curos Disinfecting Caps include:

1. Disinfecting Solution: The caps are filled with a disinfecting solution that contains 70% isopropyl alcohol, which is effective against a wide range of microorganisms.

2. Easy to Use: The caps come individually packaged and are ready to use. They can be easily applied to the port and removed without requiring any additional steps or equipment.

3. Compatible with Most Standard Ports: The caps are designed to fit most standard needleless port connectors, including all major brands.

4. Color-Coding System: Each cap is color-coded to indicate the time it has been in place. This makes it easy for healthcare professionals to identify when the cap was last changed and when it needs to be replaced.

5. Antimicrobial Protection: The caps provide a barrier against outside contamination, preventing microorganisms from entering the port and causing infections.

6. Single-Use: The caps are single-use, meaning they should be discarded after use to avoid the risk of cross-contamination.

7. Cost-Effective: Using Curos Disinfecting Caps can help reduce the risk of infections, which can lead to cost savings by reducing the need for additional treatments and hospitalizations.

3M Curos Disinfecting Caps are an effective and convenient way to disinfect needleless port connectors and prevent the spread of infection in healthcare settings. By incorporating these caps into standard protocols, healthcare facilities can help ensure patient safety and reduce the risk of healthcare-associated infections.

Curos disinfecting port protectors are alcohol-containing caps that twist onto I.V. access points for disinfection and protection. Consistent use of Curos disinfecting caps on I.V. needleless connectors is associated with decreased central line associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs).
