- Antimicrobial coating on catheter is Silver Sulfadiazine. This coating is on the internal and external surfaces, as well as the hub of the catheter.
- Silver Sulfadiazine enables bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. It is also effective against yeast and has been used effectively as a topical anti-infective for the prevention and treatment of wound sepsis on patients with second and third degree burns.
- Its antimicrobial action suppresses the incidence of microbial colonization on the indwelling catheter and at the insertion site.
- Silver Sulfadiazine has been shown to reduce the incidence of catheter related complication when compared to catheters without an antibacterial coating.
