Needless ports

Carpuject syringes can do both.

What about the needless adapters (iv hubs), are there any you can also use a needle on if need be? I ask because the facility I work at often has both kinds of syringes (luer lock and only ones that can be used with a needle). Its frustrating because we run out of the luer lock syringes often and I can’t use a normal syringe with a needle on the needless adapter to give meds. We are overseas so resupply is limited as well as options for resupply.

You can use them with a leur lock or with a needle attachment for im or sq.

So are you saying you can use a needle setup and just put it in a needless port and inject meds, or it has to be given IM or SQ?
Sorry, it so difficult to ask equipment questions through a forum when you can’t explain it very well. ?

You can use leur slip syringes with needless systems, it is just a 1/4 turn to secure it in the IV hub. Definitely works for the Clave system.

S/he isn't asking about that, but about whether or not you can stick a needle into a needleless port.

I got a chuckle because a needless port is one that is not necessary...?

I glanced at that word...thinking, maybe it's right. Now that I take a closet (ha ha, my computer auto-corrected closer to closet), closer look it's obviously not. Probably an auto-correct error.

Yes, upon reading the title I did think this was going to be an ethics post.

Okay that answered my question. Yes some of our needles are connected to syringes, and some are not. I don’t even know if some supplies are from US. We get weird resupply with what seems like leftover supplies and often get stuck with luer lock saline locks but no luer lock syringes to push meds with so I was just trying to figure out if the luer lock saline lock adapter could be used for both needles and needless system. Thank you all.
