Tego™

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.  Tego’s saline flush option is designed to help reduce the risk of Heparin-Induced Thromobcytopenia (HIT) and helps you minimize overall hemodialysis costs by reducing heparin use.

Functional Attributes

• Straight fluid path accommodates flow rates of greater than 600 mL/min
• Remains in place during the entire hemodialysis treatment period
• Validated for continuous patient use for up to seven days
• Silicone seal remains closed when not activated, closing the fluid path

Clinical Advantages

• Use of Tego was shown to be associated with a 10-12% reduction in CRBSI
• 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. Tego will permit access to the catheter without the use of needles, and therefore passively aid in the reduction of needlestick injuries.
• Tego's saline flush option helps to reduce risks and costs associated with heparin use.
