Needle-Free Devices

Bionector, the 7 day/360 access, closed, needle-free IV access system, was first commercially available in the UK in 1994. The concept of Bionector began with the need to reduce infection rates in vascular access devices. However, with the increased awareness of the risk of needle-stick injuries, Bionector has now taken on the dual role of eliminating access-associated needle-stick injuries and helping to reduce complications relating to catheters and cannulae.

Bionector is now widely used with all specialties of medicine and can be found in almost any hospital department. The Bionector range of products has grown and developed as clinical demands have changed, and Bionector can now be used on virtually any type of vascular access device. A number of hospitals in the UK have adopted Bionector as their standard means of accessing all vascular access devices.     

When Bionector is in place you can infuse, inject, sample and change your IV tubing without opening the IV circuit to the atmosphere. Bionector’s protective membrane automatically opens the fluid pathway only when a male luer has been fully inserted. When you disconnect the male luer the protective membrane automatically seals the fluid pathway.

We can offer our customers a number of training methods for the range of Bionector needle-free access device products. This includes:
