Online published on 12 June, 2018. Abstract Background/Objectives Contrast agents are used in interventional procedures for vascular treatment. A connector is required to connect the catheter in your body. I want to find the right connection tube. Methods/Statistical analysis The performance evaluation items of the connecting tube that need to be connected with the micro catheter during angiography are the connection ability, pressure ability, non-moving ability and psi change during fixation I divided it. In order to minimize the error due to the measurement error, 10 measurements were made and the mean value was calculated and evaluated by 3 radiologists in the same way. Findings It is the most suitable disposable syringe connector when the connection part of a product made of plastic material is correctly fixed to various treatment tools when used in clinic of each hospital. However, there are users who worry about the infection during the fixed process and avoid it because of the hassle. So far, the health authorities ’prescriptions for injectors or injectors combined with metal and plastic connections have not been explicitly provided, but the reuse of disposable disinfectants will turn into taboos for each other. Therefore, if the connection is used at each hospital, the connection area of the product made of plastic is composed of various surgical tools such as towel clips or mosquitoes. However, there is concern that there may be concerns about the possibility of infection and annoyance. As a result, it is best to lock the connection of the plastic injector connector and use it when considering the cost of infection and cost evaluation, as well as the cost of infection. Improvements/Applications Is better or equal to the metal tube of the evaluation area. In terms of cost, it is best to use a plastic connector after fixing the connector luer.
