The new ISO standard 80369 �Small diameter connectors for liquids and gases in medical applications� will replace the Luer connection as a universal connector and, depending on the application, specify separate standard parts to avoid confusion between different areas of application. The ISO 80369-7 standard regulates cone connections with a 6% (luer) cone for syringes, cannulas and certain other medical devices in intravascular or hypodermic applications. MedNet will offer ISO 80369-7 compatible connectors with connections for common hose sizes as pluggable and adhesive connectors. Requests are welcome for special sizes and customer-specific components. Mednet also already offers ISO 80369-compliant connectors and terminators for enteral nutrition (ISO 80369-3), connectors for non-invasive blood pressure measurement (ISO 80369-5) and for neuroaxial applications (ISO 80369-6). The material used is transparent and lipid-resistant. Colored versions can also be produced on request. The connectors for enteral nutrition are available as connections for tubes from 5F to 10F and for flexible tubes with 1/8" (3.2mm) inner diameter or as end seals. Materials: ABS or polypropylene Connectors for non-invasive blood pressure measurement are available as connections for tubes with inner diameters of 3/32" (2.4mm) to 3/16" (4.8mm). Materials: ABS or polyamide (nylon) These small and lightweight ISO 80369-6 compliant connectors are easy to clean and offer maximum ease of use. The available materials are easy to bond with solvents and are approved for use in medical applications. The female connectors are equipped with wings for easy handling, and the male connectors also have a handy attachment. The end caps, which are also available, seal the connections for use in radiation sterilization processes; alternatively, ventilated caps can be used for sterilization with ETO. Materials: acrylic, ABS or polycarbonate Mednet will offer ISO 80369-7 compatible connectors with connections for common hose sizes as pluggable and adhesive connectors.
