The Triple Threat
Proven Technology
Clinically proven to reduce infections and occlusions
Catheter Lock Solution
An optimal catheter lock solution should keep the catheter lumen patent, reduce the incidents of catheter related infection, produce minimal or no side effects, be cost effective and easy to use. Only KiteLock 4% meets these requirements. [3]
Interrelated Process
The battle against the intraluminal Triple Threat. The Triple Threat are three interrelated processes occurring inside a CVAD. Blood forms a clot inside the catheter lumen. Clots feed microorganisms. Microorganisms create biofilm. Biofilm is a sticky surface promoting clot formation. The three gears must be knocked out to avoid further CVAD complications or the cycle repeats.
Safe for Children
To date, children catheter lock solutions have been used off-label and compounded products are the standard of care. KiteLock 4% is the only globally approved lock solution safe enough for children.
Non-antibiotic, Antimicrobial
By using KiteLock 4% infections are prevented and therefore the use of antibiotics is avoided. KiteLock 4% fits with antibiotic stewardship programs worldwide by sparing the use of important antibiotic agents, targeting prevention rather than the expensive treatment of hospital acquired infections.
