In vitro testing shows effectiveness against the six microorganisms commonly associated with CLABSI: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida glabrata, and Candida albicans.
Curos disinfecting caps lock onto needle-free valves and connectors for quick and reliable disinfection; can be left in place to clean and protect for up to 7 days.
Consistent use of Curos disinfecting caps on I.V. needlesless connectors is associated with decreased CLABSI. Curos caps are alcohol-containing caps that twist onto ports for disinfection and protection. Each Curos cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) which bathes the surface of the port and disinfects in 1 minute.
