- Abstract
The article discusses research on increased red blood cell fragmentation caused by the use of closed luer lock access devices on catheter hubs. It references a study by Sunny Eloot of Ghent University Hospital in Belgium, published in the September 1, 2008 issue of "NDT Plus." The researchers recruited 16 haemodialysis patients without residual renal function. They found that at present, the BD Q-Syte connector can be safely advised if the split septum is full open.
