WHAT'S NEW

Small-Bore Connectors Are Designed for Safe Mating

A new SRC panel-mount coupling insert from Colder Products (Gross-Gerau, Germany) is designed to eliminate tubing misconnections that can occur with luer fittings. The connectors can be integrated into a range of air-driven devices, liquid media, and gas applications, where a potential tube misconnection poses a risk to the patient.

The new panel-mount design assists medical personnel in visually confirming that the tubing is connected to the proper equipment and the coupling design ensures that it cannot mate to a luer fitting. The intuitive design provides an audible click for added assurance of a secure connection. No twisting is required; users simply push the mating SRC body onto the device to create the connection.

The SRC product line also features a dual elastomeric seal that is integral to the coupling body. It creates a smooth gap free flow path devoid of areas where fluid can collect. The chrome-plated brass material is strong and durable and integrates visually with medical equipment designs.

The connectors are designed for use with 1/8 and 3/16 in. ID tubing.
