The Tego needlefree hemodialysis connector creates a closed system when attached to the hub of a catheter to minimize contamination and help reduce the risk of CRBSIs.

Curos Disinfecting Cap For Tego Hemodialysis Connectors use 70% isopropyl alcohol to disinfect ports in 1 minute. They’re proven effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida glabrata, and Candida albicans.

The TEGO is a neutral displacement connector; when the blood tubing or a syringe is removed from the TEGO connector there is minimal reflux of blood into the catheter lumen, reducing the need for a heparin or sodium citrate CVC lock.

Features Disinfects in 1 minute, protects ports for up to 7 days if not removed. Twists on and stays securely in place. Compatible* with Tego® Hemodialysis Connector. White Curos caps for Tego® Hemodialysis Connectors are easily distinguished from green caps for dedicated use on the Tego® connectors.

The Curos cap for Tego® hemodialysis connectors is an alcohol-containing cap that twist onto ports for disinfection and protection. Each cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) which bathes the surface of the port and disinfects it in 1 minute.

Tego™ is a closed connector designed to enable high blood flows. We used an in vitro model to compare the efficacy of Tego™ against contamination with that of standard caps in a real-life practice scenario.

Use of the Tego connector may reduce the risk of CRBSI and result in lower utilization of thrombolytics, antibiotics, and ESAs, as well as fewer missed dialysis treatments. Keywords: catheter, dialysis, end-stage renal disease, ESA, infection, mortality.

Tego is a needle-free capping device which closes the end of a catheter, creating a mechanically closed system, prohibiting microbial ingress, when attached to the hub of a catheter.
