DTXPLUS® WITH SAFEDRAW® CLOSED ARTERIAL SAMPLING SYSTEM
The Safedraw closed in-line arterial sampling system reduces risk of infection or line contamination when compared to open (or stopcock) sampling devices. Its self-sealing, silicone septum facilitates easier blood sampling and superior clinical samples, while reducing the risk of iatrogenic anemia and cross contamination.
INFECTION PREVENTION
At any given time, about 1 in 25 inpatients have an infection related to hospital care.1 HAIs may lead to sepsis or even death,2 prompting healthcare providers to take preventative action to protect patients. Through a number of safety and infection prevention products and education programs, Merit Medical strives to make the healthcare setting safer for patients and healthcare professionals.
DualCap® Disinfection & Protection System
Designed by nurses for nurses, the DualCap is a disinfecting cap system for use on both the male luer connector at the end of the IV tubing and the needle-free valve. Offering rapid and ongoing protection, the DualCap disinfects in 30 seconds, providing a physical barrier to contamination for up to 7 days.*
