Meet the Lyka® PORT Needlefree Access Device
For Hemodialysis Applications
Uniquely designed for use in hemodialysis, the Lyka® PORT1 brings engineering excellence to patient care, safety, and performance. The Lyka® PORT needlefree access device utilizes split septum technology with low dead space, and is fully flushable to reduce infection risk. The CDC recommends split septum valves over mechanical valves in needleless systems to reduce infection risk. The Lyka® PORT features an open fluid path, delivering ultra-high flow rates and enhanced safety for hemodialysis patients2.

Validated for Hemodialysis Duration
Lyka® PORT Advantages
The Lyka® PORT needlefree access device is validated for use as a physical and microbial barrier for up to 7 days, eliminating the need for replacement after every treatment. The Lyka® PORT's long duration of use represents a critical advantage for hemodialysis patients who require consistent, long-term vascular access.
Minimizing Risk
Reducing Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infections
Catheter-related bloodstream infections, occlusion, and leakage are common complications among hemodialysis patients with central venous catheters. The Lyka® PORT needlefree access device is designed to minimize these risks and improve patient safety.
Resistance to Leakage
The rigid plastic body of the Lyka® PORT needlefree access device provides a secure and sealed fluid path, minimizing the risk of leakage and external contamination—an essential feature for infection prevention in high-risk hemodialysis environments. While competitor valves include soft outer sheaths that can tear, allowing leaks and breaching the integrity of the fluid path, the Lyka® PORT needlefree connector’s hard plastic body protects the fluid path for the duration of treatment.
