DualCap Solo Disinfecting Cap is a uniquely designed disinfecting cap for the needle-free valve. DualCap Solo Disinfecting Cap is designed to help prevent intraluminal contamination, as well as device cross-contamination, especially important for IV catheter use over extended dwell times.
When left in place for 30 seconds, the Light Blue DualCap Solo disinfects needleless luer access valves; thereafter, the caps provide a physical barrier to contamination up to 7 days under normal conditions if not removed.
Features
- Caps contain medical-grade sponges saturated with 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA).
- Caps feature an easy-to-grasp, hold, and twist tapered design that fits tightly and securely.
- The DualCap not only provides built-in disinfection but also protection that comes from a secure connection.
- Designed by infusion nurses, for nurses, the Light Blue DualCap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol to disinfect and protect IV connectors between uses.
