Needle-free IV Connectors are routinely used in the hospitals for intravenous administration of fluids and medicines to protect the central part of the vascular access systems. Needle-free IV connectors’ aids in reducing risks of possible contaminations associated with the IV administration and stop manipulation in all types of IV infusions. Moreover, technological advancements in needle-free IV connectors such as connectors preventing fluid reflux, closed IV systems, and connectors embedded with antimicrobial agents (V-Link) is expected to help to reduce the risk of bloodstream infections associated with IV administration. Needle-free connectors with extended dwell time is expected to help in preventing intraluminal contamination and device cross-contamination, which is expected to drive growth of the market over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics

Government organizations and regulatory bodies such as Centers for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) have recommended the usage of needle-free connectors to reduce the incidence of sharp injuries and blood stream infections mandating its usage in medical facilities in the ‘Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections’ in 2011. Major issues associated with the conventional options of intravenous infusion include contamination from external sources during administration, blood reflux, and risk of bloodstream infections, which are addressed by needle-free IV connectors.

The National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) conducts various programs globally that helps to impart education and hands on training sessions to all physicians and nurses about the usage of needle-free connectors and insertion of central venous catheters in children and adults. The advantages of needle-free IV connectors over conventional IV administration include safer access to IV lines without using needle, reduced risk of bloodstream infections and reduced possibility of contamination, rising chronic diseases prevalence, and cost containment through use of needle-free IV connectors is expected to boost growth of needle-free IV connectors market over the forecast period.
