U.S. Disinfecting Cap industry has gained significant traction growing applications in catheters during medical procedures

 

U.S. Disinfecting Cap

Disinfecting Cap is a new product in catheter safety. Designed to be worn on the nipple or the base of the penis to provide an additional barrier to improve hygiene, as well as prevent the spread of disease. Using disposable tampons in combination with other easy interventions, such as passive or active disinfecting, helps to reduce infection rates related to other types of central vesicle catheters by preventing colonization by microorganisms and providing an obvious indicator that the surrounding tissue has been sterilized. This product offers a safe alternative to current vesicle catheter designs and should be used in tandem with existing devices to achieve the best protection.

The U.S. disinfecting cap is easy to use and features an extra-large drainage hole which allows for easy removal. The pads can be changed over multiple times, to allow for easy cleaning and disposal. The curos disinfecting connectors are made from medical-grade silicone rubber, which provides added protection against other forms of contact and sterilization. In fact, 70% isopropyl alcohol is required in order to make the connectors effective for a variety of infections. In order for the U.S. disinfecting cap to work, it must remain in the housing area for the shortest amount of time possible.

While there is no requirement for the device to remain outside of the patient's body for the entire one minute that it remains securely in place, it is not uncommon for it to remain in the patient's body for up to five minutes, especially when the device is used for the first time and then every time it is used thereafter. However, if the proper disinfecting instructions are not followed, the chances of contamination increase dramatically. For instance, if the single-use disinfecting needleless connectors are used to take blood samples for testing, and if the incorrect or incomplete sanitization procedure is used, the chances of an infection increase significantly, especially with regards to the possibility of introducing bacteria and fungi into the blood.
