What is a Needle Free Connector?
Needle Free Connector (NC) is a medical device that is used to connect different components of an IV system without the need for needles or puncturing of a septum. NCs are designed to help reduce the risk of needlestick injuries, minimize waste, and decrease the potential for contamination.
Needle-free connectors can be used in a variety of healthcare settings, including hospitals, clinics, and home care environments. They can be used for administering medications, blood products, and other IV fluids, as well as for accessing IV catheters or ports.
At AdvaCare Pharma, we are committed to producing high-quality Needle Free Connectors using the latest technology and manufacturing processes. Our facilities in China, India, and the USA are equipped with modern equipment and staffed by experienced professionals to ensure the highest quality standards are met.
Product Specifications
Type
Neutral needle free connectors are designed to prevent blood reflux from moving into the catheter lumen during the connection and disconnection of IV sets or syringes. Unlike negative pressure connectors, neutral connectors do not generate any pressure or force during fluid movement. This feature ensures safer and more secure connections for patients with catheters.
Negative needle free connector generates negative pressure during the fluid movement, which can cause the blood to be pulled back into the catheter lumen. To prevent this, it is important to have a standardized clamping sequence in place for practice and procedure guidelines.
Extension Tube Lumen
Single Extension Tube Lumen in a needle-free connector refers to the presence of one tube that extends from the connector and is used to deliver fluids to the patient. It is often used for simple IV infusions where only one medication or fluid needs to be administered.
Double Extension Tube Lumen has two separate channels within the connector. It is used to deliver two different fluids to the patient at the same time, while still allowing for easy connection and disconnection of the IV components. This mechanism ensures the efficient and accurate administration during complex medical procedures without compromising patient comfort or the integrity of the IV system.
Triple Extension Tube Lumen has three separate tubes that allow for the simultaneous administration of multiple medications or fluids. This can be beneficial in situations where patients require multiple treatments or therapies. The triple extension tube lumen provides healthcare professionals with increased flexibility and efficiency in delivering multiple medications or fluids concurrently.

Uses
How should a Needle Free Connector be used?
Before using a needle free connector, check the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper handling and compatibility with the IV system. To connect components, first disinfect the access port with an alcohol swab, then attach the needle free connector using a twisting motion. When finished, disconnect the connector by twisting it off in a counterclockwise direction.
How should a Needle Free Connector be disposed of?
Dispose of the used NC properly according to local healthcare guidelines. Appropriate infection control procedures should be followed to prevent the risk of infection transmission.
FAQs
What are the parts of a Needle Free Connector?
A needleless connector (NC) typically consists of a housing, a valve mechanism, and a male luer lock connector. Some connectors may also have an extension tube attached.
What is the difference between neutral and negative NC types?
Neutral NCs have a straight fluid path and are typically used for low viscosity fluids, while negative NCs have a tortuous fluid path and are used for high viscosity fluids.
What is the difference between single, double, and triple extension tube lumens?
A single extension tube lumen allows for one fluid pathway, while a double extension tube lumen allows for two fluid pathways. A triple extension tube lumen allows for three fluid pathways.
What are the different extension tube lengths available for Needle Free Connectors?
Extension tube lengths can vary from a few inches to several feet, depending on the intended use.
How should NCs be stored and handled?
Needle free connectors should be stored in a clean and dry environment, away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. They should be handled using aseptic technique and discarded after single use.
