What are 3M™ Curos™ Disinfecting Port Protectors?

The Curos Disinfecting Cap is a unique disposable passive disinfection device, which protects a port for up to seven days and ensures the device is always clean, removing the need to actively disinfect, with an 87% decline in infection rates*.

How Curos™ Disinfecting Port Protectors?

Curos Disinfecting Caps work with a simple twist they can be easily attached to the end of an IV needle-free device to both disinfect AND protect.

The Benefits of Curos™ Disinfecting Port Protectors:

In a high pressure environment when time is of the essence, it is human behaviour to rush through essential steps. epic3 guidelines recommend scrubbing the hub for a minimum of 15 seconds, yet 54% of IV hubs are not cleaned for the recommended time. If decontamination is not performed correctly there is a risk of microbiological contamination when the port is accessed. And with 20% of healthcare associated infections related to catheter-related blood stream infections, Curos Disinfecting Caps are critical in reducing this, as well as saving clinical time and money!
