TAUROLOCK HEP500 CATHETER LOCK SOLUTION VIAL 10 ML

INDICATION AND EFFECT: TauroLock�-Hep500 is approved for instillation in all central venous access systems. TauroLock�-Hep500 remaining in the catheter prevents the formation of a bacterial biofilm. The catheter stays infection-free and works properly at high patency. COMPOSITION: The lock solution contains (cyclo)-taurolidine 500 units heparin per mL and citrate (4%). (Cyclo)-taurolidine has a broad antimicrobial activity (incl. MRSA and VRE) against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and fungi (e.g. Candida). APPLICATION: In application-free periods (e.g. between two dialysis sessions) TauroLock�-Hep500 is instilled into the saline-rinsed access system. The filling volume of the catheter/port system should be noted in this context.
