We are having great success with the InVision-Plus.
One of the advantages is that it is not technique dependent.
It does not matter when or if you clamp.
We are using a saline flush protocol for everything except implanted
ports and having very few problems.
My collegue in CT has some pre and post statistics re occlusion that
she may be will ing to share when she returns from vacation
It also seems to have a greatly improved barrier to prevent bacteria
from entering the fluid pathway compared to other products. The bug
glow test is very impressive. (However, there are no completed
studies r/t BSI as yet.)

In early December Martha Pike wrote a lengthy and glowing
evaluation of the Rymed Invision-Plus Nuetral injection cap--If she
could please give us an update and allow us to use her comments for
benchmarking purposes we would be most greatful--We are having
tremendous issues with the CLC in our ICU and would like to
recommend a change--I have visited the Web site and received an
information packet from the company but could use some first hand
professional support and end user input--Anyone else out there
using this product please contribute your thoughts to the thread--
Thanks to everyone in advance
