Access Technologies TCS Catheter Lock Solution
Supplier: Access Technologies TCS

An Anti-Microbial Lock Solution providing patency and infection control. A revolutionary approach to catheter maintenance. TCS combines two active ingredients vital to the effective management of vascular access catheters - Taurolidine and Citrate. When catheters are locked with TCS, their internal flow passages are resistant to clot formation and hostile to bacterial and fungal growth. Taurolidine, chemically modified amino acid taurine, interacts with components of microbial cell walls, resulting in irreparable injury; prevents intraluminal microbial colonization, inhibits biofilm that can allow protected microbial colonization, acts effectively against a broad range of bacteria and fungi, does not induce development of resisitant microbes.Citrate, anticoagulant component of TCS, forms a complex with calcium in the blood, disrupting the normal coagulation cascade, inhibits intraluminal blood coagulation with no systemic effect
