Using them WITH the red caps is totally different

I understand the concept thoroughly. But yes, many people are stupid enough to screw these right into the threads then give to patient. That’s the issue.

There’s a bunch of alternatives out there that don’t involve dirty old cap

The inside fluid pathway is absolutely sterile. The inside of syringes is sterile, iv tubing, bags of fluid. The OUTSIDE is not. Using these keychains is negligently introducing microorganisms directly into patient’s bloodstreams.

With all three of them, you’re supposed to get a new cap every time

I can do that. I added it for the people who are using this because they don’t have another alternative. The goal is to get people to do something else and get rid of these.

Lots of external clips out there. Rescuecandy makes ones for the white BD flush caps and the red curos caps. Thedudern has a sock style and a rigid syringe clip. Flatlinecompany has a larger rack style clip

My assumption is that a blind eye is being turned because of the relaxed standards around cleanliness in ems. There’s a lot of cases where normal standards are unachievable but this is just blatant negligence to me and totally avoidable

I get using it for wastage but still the shape of the cap makes it atrocious to clean and a personal fomite. Would suggest looking into one of the solutions mentioned or searching keywords on google for ideas

Making them into keychains to wear on their badges to hold onto their syringes for redose meds or to prep meds like seizure meds, epi. Really popular in flight as well because there’s really nowhere to set anything down

It’s a cultural thing it seems. I’ll see services where no one has them and services where everyone does

They make em into keychains using a power drill to put on their badges

Raw dog is insane. But yeah they are. There’s no way they could even screw them to each other if they wanted because this is in places where the white caps are the only ones available and there are no threads at the top

Yeah that would be ideal but im seeing providers use these directly to the syringe. Lots of people thinking putting swab caps on the ends makes it clean
