SwabCap XT Disinfection Caps

SwabCap XT is a disinfecting cap designed to protect needle-free IV connectors from contamination between accesses — a small step that plays a big role in reducing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs). Each cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol that passively disinfects the connector's access surface and threads, keeping it protected for up to seven days if the cap stays in place or 96 hours of continuous protection while capped. That means no separate scrub-the-hub step at each entry, saving clinician time while supporting infection-prevention protocols.

We carry the ICU Medical SwabCap XT Connector Cap (SCXT3-2000) for needle-free connectors, packaged for high-volume clinical use. The "XT" design brings an extended, improved thread engagement for a more secure fit across a wide range of luer-access connectors, along with a flip-top strip presentation that makes single-handed application quick and clean at the point of care.

Applying a cap is straightforward: twist it onto a clean, dry connector until seated, leave it in place until the next access, then remove and discard — replacing it with a fresh cap after each use. The color of the cap makes it easy for staff to see at a glance whether a line is protected, supporting compliance audits and consistent practice on the floor.

SwabCap XT is well suited to hospitals, infusion centers, dialysis units, oncology, and long-term care settings where IV lines are accessed repeatedly and passive disinfection reduces variability in technique. Whether you're standardizing a CLABSI-prevention bundle or restocking existing supplies, these caps deliver reliable, ready-to-use protection in a case quantity built for busy units.
