NutriLock™
NutriLock™ has been approved for instillation in all central-venous access systems. NutriLock™ prevents the formation of bacterial biofilm and thereby keeps catheters infection-free. NutriLock™ containt one active ingredient, taurolidine. This substance has a broad antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria (incl. MRSA and VRE) and fungi (e.g. Candida). NutriLock™ is a citrat-free lock solution and doesn’t contain any anticoagulant. NutriLock™ is recommended for catheters in parenteral nutrition where the catheter isn’t exposed to blood or as an alternative to those patients where citrate for any reason should be avoided. In-between food intakes via parenteral nutrition or chemotherapy sessions, NutriLock™ remains in the vascular access. Please note that medical staff must respect the filling volume of each catheter or port system. Before using NutriLock™, please read the ”Instruction for use”.
