About the company

Maximus is a leading manufacturer of medical products serving healthcare markets worldwide.

Maximus’ line of needle-free connectors, including the MaxPlus featuring Tru-Swab Technology, promotes aseptic technique and proper disinfection of the connector prior to access. Tru-Swab connectors offer a flat, smooth surface free of nooks, crannies, gaps, or slits that typically harbor bacteria even after disinfection. Tru-Swab technology is utilized in a variety of products provided by Maximus. These products include MaxPlus Positive Displacement Connector, MaxPort Swabable Stopcock, IV Extension sets and Administration Sets featuring Max Y sites with Tru-Swab Technology. Maximus is committed to reducing potential needlestick injuries through their complete line of needle-free connectors, as well as needle-free blood collection holders and transfer devices.

The MaxPlus is designed to eliminate retrograde blood flow into the catheter lumen, thus preventing potential infusion complications. Fewer complications saves time, money, and improves overall patient care. Tru-Swab Technology is designed to provide the clinician with the most effective surface to aid in disinfection. All of Maximus’ valves feature Tru-Swab Technology, including the new MaxPort Swabable Stopcock. This device provides a closed system that can be completely disinfected prior to access. This can significantly decrease infections associated with open port stopcocks.

Maximus’ newest product, Tru-Secure Peripheral Securement Device, continues to offer the same quality, cost-effective solutions that Maximus is known for. Tru-Secure replaces the need for tape when securing peripheral IVs. The product features a non-irritating adhesive foam to safely secure, as well as a clear bio-occlusive dressing to protect and allow complete visualization of the insertion site. Tru-Secure minimizes catheter movement which can lead to problems such as, phlebitis and infection requiring frequent re-starts which can increase potential needle stick injuries to the healthcare worker.
