Acute Care Needleless Connectors allow the easy administration of medicines and the withdrawal of blood intravenously. This application could be vital during the current COVID-19 phase and could eventually increase the demand for needless connectors.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1 million deaths annually are associated with the unsafe use of needles, which can be avoided by using needleless connectors. Harmful diseases such as hepatitis and HIV can spread by improper or reuse of needles. This potential problem can drive the demand for acute care needleless connectors.

According to a report by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of December 2013, around 385,000 needle-stick injuries were reported, alone in the U.S. among the healthcare workers. Significant growth is anticipated in the acute care needleless connector industry, owing to an increased demand for needleless connectors to prevent needle-stick injury by health care staff.

In May 2019, B.Braun signed a U.S. distribution agreement with Nexus Medical, for a long-term distribution of its Nexus TKO-6P Luer Activated Anti-Reflux Device. The device is designed to provide 24/7 IV catheter patency which is vital to the administration of medications and fluids.

In November 2019, ICU Medical acquired Pursuit Vascular for USD 75 million primarily for its ClearGuard HD caps which is designed for the maintenance of hemodialysis catheters. The technology minimizes infections and destroys infection-causing bacteria and fungi inside a hemodialysis catheter.

Becton Dickinson a prominent name in the acute care needleless connectors market, and BioMedomics, a North Carolina-based clinical diagnostics company, announced the release of a new point-of-care test that can detect antibodies in blood to confirm current or past exposure to COVID-19 in just 15 minutes.
