Hi,
Can anyone help me with the difference between the two. As far as my search has gone, the clave was promoted mainly as a needle free device and as a method of reducing CR-BSI. The micro clave makes these claims as well as being a neutral displacement connector. My question is this - is the clave also a neutral displacement conncector or not?
Thanks,

Clave is negative fluid displacement

Lynn is correct- the Clave has 0.02mL of negative fluid displacement upon disconnection.
