MedNet launches new adapter for closure around medical instruments

With the Tuohy Borst Adapter, MedNet offers a solution to provide secure closure around medical instruments such as catheters – without backflow of body fluids during placement of devices. 

This makes them suitable for a variety of interventional and diagnostic procedures.  

The Tuohy Borst Adapter helps to reduce blood loss in catheters for applications such as atherectomy, thrombectomy, catheter ablation and external direct access catheter ports. As endoscopy port seals, the Tuohy Borst Adapter helps to prevent fluid or gas loss in endoscopy access ports and could also be used as a laser / RF device access port for varicose and peripheral vein closure. 

As well as the standard Tuohy Borst Adapter, MedNet also offers an adapter with Female Luer Lock Sideport and a Tuohy Borst Adapter with 15cm extension line with Female Luer Lock. All models are available in 9 French (Tuohy Borst connector) and 3.1mm (Male Luer Lock). The body of the adapter is made of polycarbonate, which ensures high transparency and good impact resistance.
