ICU Medical MicroCLAVE Needleless Connectors

The MicroCLAVE line from ICU Medical is a clinician-trusted needleless connector system built around a clear, straight fluid path and a neutral displacement design that helps reduce reflux at connection and disconnection. For infusion teams focused on catheter patency and bloodstream infection prevention, these connectors deliver a swabbable, split-septum surface and low priming volumes that support consistent flushing protocols.

A common question buyers ask is which MicroCLAVE fits their workflow. The core MicroCLAVE Connector (MC100) is the standard neutral-displacement device for peripheral and central line access, not made with natural rubber latex. For pre-attached access, the MicroCLAVE Extension Sets (B3302) pair a Clave needleless port with mini-bore tubing, a slide clamp, and a 0.3 mL priming volume across 7 inches of tubing — useful where you want a ready-to-use port at the patient. Bulk-focused facilities often standardize on the SC3000 and SC9117 needleless connectors, which carry the same neutral displacement performance in configurations suited to higher-volume ordering.

To cap and protect an open port between uses, the MicroClave Port Male Adapter Plug (1256801) offers a DEHP-free, latex-free closure with a nominal 1-inch length and roughly 0.045 mL priming capacity. Keeping these plugs on hand helps maintain a closed system and supports your line-maintenance routine.

When selecting, match connector displacement type and priming volume to your institution's flushing and clamping sequence, and confirm luer compatibility with your existing sets. All MicroCLAVE devices here are designed for a clear fluid pathway that lets clinicians visually confirm flushing.
