Closed system transfer devices for chemo administration?

Hello all,

I just got back from the ONS Institutes of Learning and am now fascinated with the use of "closed system transfer devices" for chemo administration, especially for actually connecting the chemo tubing to the pt's line (central or peripheral). I've been an inpatient hem/onc nurse for 2+ yrs, giving chemo for 1+ yr, and have never even really understood what these devices were (I thought they were interchangeable with "needleless connectors") -- however at IOL, it seemed like common practice. I'm curious about your experience with them, and advice/thoughts on introducing their use at my institution.

Thanks!
