One of our physicians is asking about tamper resistent caps for central lines. He was told there was one on the market. Does anyone know of any? If you do please state the product name and manufacturer. Any experience in usage would also be helpful.
Thank you all

If he is asking about the disinfection/protective caps, there are 4 brands now on the market - SwabCap, Curos, DualCap and the one from Hopsira but the product name escapes me. These are not tamper proof though as a patient could get them off. They do protect the connection surface of an NC between uses and disinfect them with alcohol. Lynn

No he was talking about tamper proof in that you could not remove or inject. There is no such product correct?

I have never seen such a product at any of the tradeshows or conferences. Lynn
