Introducing Neutron

Neutron needlefree catheter patency device is the world’s first and only FDA-cleared device that has been shown to significantly reduce all types of reflux into a catheter.

Maintaining catheter patency and minimizing occlusions can be important steps in your efforts to enhance patient safety and improve outcomes. The Neutron catheter patency device significantly reduce all types of reflux into a catheter—and reducing reflux has been clinically shown to help reduce occlusions.

The Neutron Catheter Patency Device is Designed to Reduce All Types of Reflux into a Catheter, Regardless of the Cause

Reflux of blood into the catheter has been shown to contribute to biofilm formation and catheter occlusion.

Unique Design Allows Neutron to Help Prevent Occlusions by Reducing Reflux and Maintaining Catheter Patency

Because of an innovative design, the Neutron helps maintain catheter patency during times when traditional connectors have been shown to occlude most often.

Breakthrough Technology That Reduces Reflux to Help Maintain Catheter Patency While Providing a Safe and Effective Microbial Barrier

The Neutron incorporates ICU Medical’s patented split-septum silicone seal and straight internal fluid path technology, clinically shown to provide a "significantly reduced bacterial transfer rate."1
