· needleless connectors for use in iv ad-ministration were introduced in the early 1990s, a wide variety of these devices have come onto the market. Although these appara-tuses are often referred to as “end caps,” “injec-tion caps,” “luer-activated devices,” “injection ports,” and “mechanical valves,” the term “needle-less connector” is the most accurate, as it is the only term that includes all types and designs in this category of products. Within a single health care system, several types of needleless connect-ors may be in use, varying considerably in both design and function. While needleless connectors have greatly reduced the risk of needlestick in-jury among health care providers, they have also been associated with an increase in such complica-tions as catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) and catheter lumen occlusion.1-11 This article discusses the many types of needleless con-nectors available for use in iv
