Frequently asked questions
How much does the connector reduce occlusions?
The Nexus TKO Anti-Reflux Needleless Connector is highly effective in managing line complications and preventing blockages, demonstrating proven clinical results in occlusion reduction.
- Significant Reduction: It is proven to reduce central line occlusions by up to 85%.
- Core Technology: This performance is attributed to the proprietary anti-reflux functionality enabled by B. Braun’s patented Tri-Seal design.
- Cost Savings: By minimizing the incidence of occlusions, this system substantially reduces the reliance on expensive declotting agents like tPA (Cathflo) and Heparin, leading to lower overall drug and replacement costs.
Does the Tri-Seal design highly reduce occlusions?
The patented Tri-Seal design is a key feature of the B. Braun Nexus TKO connector, providing dual benefits of infection prevention and line patency. It delivers excellent performance:
- Occlusion Reduction: The design is clinically proven to reduce the incidence of central line occlusions by up to 85%. This significant reduction helps maintain consistent flow and line patency.
- Microbial Protection: It establishes and maintains a continuous 24/7 microbial barrier to prevent bacteria transfer and colonization at the access site.
- Cost Savings: By minimizing occlusions, the connector substantially reduces the need for expensive declotting agents like tPA (Cathflo) and Heparin, lowering operational costs associated with catheter maintenance and replacement.
Is the Nexus TKO connector power injectable?
Yes, the B. Braun Nexus TKO Anti-Reflux Needleless Connector is designed to be power injectable, supporting high flow rates necessary for various medical procedures. It is rated for injection capabilities up to the following specifications:
- Pressure: 325 psi
- Flow Rate: 10 mL per second
What is the Nexus TKO connector's shelf life?
The B. Braun Nexus TKO Anti-Reflux Needleless Connector is designed with longevity in mind. All variants of this factory-new device have an extended shelf life of 60 months.
Are there diverse configuration options?
Yes, the B. Braun Nexus TKO Anti-Reflux Needleless Connector is highly versatile and is offered in a wide array of configurations, allowing you to tailor the system to specific clinical needs. All variants are typically sold in cases of 100 units.
Key configuration options include:
- Connector Type: Available as a standalone Needleless Connector or integrated into various Extension Sets.
- Lumen Capacity: Sets come in Single Lumen, Bifurcated (2-way), Trifurcated (3-way), or Quadfurcated (4-way) designs.
- Bore Size: Options for Standard Bore or Microbore tubing.
- Length: Available in multiple lengths, including 4-inch, 6-inch, and 60-inch sets.
- Clamps: Extension sets may include Pinch Clamps or Non-Removable Slide Clamps.
How does the TKO connector save clinical costs?
The B. Braun Nexus TKO connector is specifically engineered to help generate significant cost savings by mitigating common complications associated with central line access.
These cost reductions are achieved through several key mechanisms:
- Significant Occlusion Reduction: The anti-reflux design is proven to reduce the incidence of central line occlusions by up to 85%. This directly minimizes the need for expensive CVC/PICC catheter replacements.
- Lower Drug Expenses: By successfully mitigating occlusions, the system substantially lessens the clinical dependency on costly clot-dissolving agents such as tPA (Cathflo) and Heparin.
- Infection Control: The patented Tri-Seal design establishes a continuous 24/7 microbial barrier, helping to prevent infections and the associated high treatment costs.
Does the Nexus TKO connector offer proven microbial protection?
Yes, the B. Braun Nexus TKO Anti-Reflux Needleless Connector features a patented Tri-Seal design that provides 24/7 microbial barrier protection, effectively reducing bacteria transfer and colonization.
Does this connector significantly reduce occlusions?
Yes, the B. Braun Nexus TKO Anti-Reflux Needleless Connector is specifically designed to significantly minimize central line occlusions using its patented Tri-Seal technology.
- Proven Efficacy: It is clinically proven to reduce central line occlusions by up to 85%.
- Cost Savings: This reduction translates to substantial cost benefits by minimizing the need for expensive declotting agents like tPA (Cathflo) and Heparin.
- Additional Benefit: The Tri-Seal design also provides continuous 24/7 microbial barrier protection at the access point.
Does the patented Tri-Seal provide 24/7 microbial protection?
Yes, the patented Tri-Seal design is the core technology providing advanced infection control and operational efficiency for the Nexus TKO connector.Key benefits include:
- 24/7 Microbial Barrier Protection: The design actively maintains a continuous barrier to significantly reduce the risk of bacteria transfer and colonization at the access site.
- Reduced Occlusions: Its anti-reflux function is proven to minimize central line occlusions by up to 85%.
- Operational Cost Reduction: By preventing occlusions, the connector substantially reduces the need for expensive declotting agents like tPA (Cathflo) and Heparin, contributing to overall cost savings.
Does the Nexus TKO connector support high-pressure injection?
Yes, the B. Braun Nexus TKO Anti-Reflux Needleless Connector is specifically engineered for high-pressure injection protocols, providing the versatility needed for various clinical applications.
This connector is rated to safely support rapid administration and high flow rates up to the following limits:
- Maximum Pressure: Up to 325 psi
- Maximum Flow Rate: Up to 10 mL per second
