Closed port stopcock technology incorporates a dedicated internal fluid path that provides a built in barrier to bacterial ingress.

A closed connection system designed to

reduce the risk of bacterial contamination

and help you improve patient outcomes.

Clave® StopcockClosed Connection System

Features:

> Closed port with stopcock functionality.

> Flat split-septum seal as noted in the CDC guidelines as a preferred design feature.4

> Eliminates the need for cap usage in closing ports before and after blood sampling.

> Applicable for all adult and pediatric patients. Flow rates of greater than 350 mL per minute allows for use in high flow applications.

> Available individually or in custom designed IV sets.

The Clave stopcock contains a closed needlefree connector with a dedicated internal fluid path and reverse split septum design that makes it a mechanically and microbiologically closed system, proven to reduce catheter colonization in a randomized clinical trial.1

The Clave Stopcock is available alone or in standard two and three gang manifold configurations as well as custom designed IV sets and manifolds specific to your needs.

The open hub of a traditional stopcock is often a portal

for bacterial entry. Contaminated stopcocks are

associated with an increase in nosocomial infections

and mortality rates.2 In less than 24 hours, 63% of

stopcocks become infected.3

The solution – Clave Stopcock

The port of the Clave Stopcock automatically closes

with removal of the male luer without having to use

caps to avoid leakage or contamination. This closed

system helps reduce rates of microbial colonization in

catheter hubs.

During infusion through the main line, the directed

flow of the Clave Stopcock continually flushes the side

port which otherwise holds a maximum 0.02 mL of

volume.
