                      Caresite®
                      Luer activated needleless connector for Infusion Systems

                      Caresite® is a needleless connector, which provides safe options for the preparation and administration of IV therapies. The product helps to protect healthcare workers from accidental needlestick injuries. The positive displacement feature helps to reduce the risk of catheter occlusions and therefore improves the outcome and efficiency of therapies.

                      Caresite® forms a closed system as it is designed to prevent microbial ingress and the escape of contaminants. It allows multiple usage through activation of the needleless connector by attaching a luer connector such as a syringe or an IV-set.
