Does Heparin Cap Rubber Enter Blood Vessels？
The rubber on the heparin cap is a large piece of rubber compressed into a small piece of rubber, its structure is very compact. It has been reported in the literature that 100 times of needle insertion, no rubber material into the blood vessels, no fluid leakage after needle extraction. Different manufacturers of different quality heparin caps have not been compared, it is not good to generalize.
However, repeated puncture of heparin cap sealing tube will have small particles into the blood circulation, at the same time, after repeated puncture, its surface gelatin appears rough, which makes bacteria, dust, accumulation, disinfection is not complete can cause infection.
