Effect of different sealing caps on the backflow of short-term dialysis catheters: A bench study
NFCs do not seem to introduce any advantage on backflow reduction as compared to a standard cap combined with lumen and clamping. Our data suggest that clamping should become standard practice when NFCs are used in the management of short-term dialysis catheters.
