Specifically designed for use in hemodialysis, the Tego needlefree connector allows for significantly less catheter hub manipulation and minimizes the risk of catheter contamination and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). Reducing CRBSIs can reduce complications for your patients and costly scheduling disruptions for your clinic.

Tego®

Needlefree Hemodialysis Connector

Clinical Advantages

The Tego connector creates a mechanically

and microbiologically closed system when

attached to the hub of a catheter, eliminating

open catheter hubs and lowering the chance

of contamination and infection.
