The CLAVE was introduced in 1992 as the first one-piece, closed, NeedleFree connector and is currently the Number One connector sold worldwide. It is the unique design of the CLAVE that ensures compliance with NeedleFree policies because of its passive technology which cannot accept a needle. The CLAVE requires no additional components or adapters to access and requires no end cap for sterility. The CLAVE is also a microbiologically closed system which helps protect the patient’s catheter from contamination that can otherwise lead to bloodstream infections.
