I am planning to switch to a clear, neutral displacement needleless connector or cap, and I was wondering if there are recommendations out there to which product is superior. I have seen the Microclave clear, Baxter One-link, and RyMed Invision-Plus. Thank you!

The only way to determine which devices work best in your facility, for your patients, and your staff is to do an evaluation of all the products you are interested in. One product may be totally acceptable for one hospital and totally fail in another. Lynn

We have the microclave clear and have had no problems. Staff RNs love that fact they can now visually see if there is blood within the connector.
