3M™ CUROS™ disinfecting cap for needleless connectors is an alcohol-containing cap that twists onto ports for disinfection and protection. Each CUROS™ cap contains 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA) which bathes the surface of the port and disinfects it in 1 min. Consistent use of CUROS™ disinfecting caps on IV needleless connectors is associated with decreased CLABSI. CUROS™ disinfecting caps are dispensed as individual caps or on a convenient ten-cap strip which can be hung from IV poles for easy access. Strips have a hanger on both ends so the strip can be cut if necessary.
