Efficacy of a non-leaching antibacterial central venous catheter

Non-Leaching Anti-Bacterial Central Venous Catheter

BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial coatings of central venous catheters (CVC) have the potential to reduce the risk of infectious complications. The aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of a catheter with a non-leaching antimicrobial coating against catheter colonization and bloodstream infections (BSI).
