Medical Design Technology published an article “Connection Selection: Identifying Fluid Connector Options.” That article addressed the variety of choices between fittings, luers and couplings and suggests which connection type is best for specific uses. Recently MD&DI published an article that specifically talks about medical misconnection and changes in the market relative to this issue titled “Unraveling Misconnections in Medical Tubing”. To help prevent serious medical misconnections and give design engineers connector options, Colder offers a wide variety of small bore connectors. These connectors are designed for use with 1/16″ to 3/16″ inside diameter (ID) tubing.
The SRC is a safer small bore connector for medical tubing applications. Not only does it eliminate the potential for dangerous tubing misconnections with luer fittings, it has a more secure latch design and allows free tubing rotation to prevent accidental disconnections or kinked tubing. Available in medical-grade polypropylene with a TPE overmold, the SRC offers a smooth, gap free flow path for less turbulence or unswept volume.
