A type of needleless injection device with 2 pieces. The cap
attached to the catheter hub has a septum that has a slit already cut
into it. This slit opens easily when a blunt cannula on the end of
tubing or a syringe is pushed through it. (e.g., Interlink from
Baxter). There is also a version of split septums that will accept a
luer tubing or syringe tip without a blunt cannula (e.g. Q-site from
BD).

Tony,
I am sure I speak for many when I thank you for your detailed,
thoughtful and lighthearted report-backs. Truly appreciated.
Still hungering for more info, dato, recommendations about needleless
systems etc. All the commentary on this topic is very helpful and
Marilyn I very much appreciate the way you framed what is needed.
I am left feeling that in the meantime it would be more prudent to go
back to split septum.
Penny
