New Access Vascular Clinical Studies Find Catheters Composed of Advanced Biomaterials Significantly Reduce Complication Rates
Presented at the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2021, these early findings highlight the potential for catheters made from advanced biomaterials to reduce patient risks, clinician frustration, and medical expense in vascular access and other applications.
- Presented at the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) Annual Scientific Meeting 2021, these early findings highlight the potential for catheters made from advanced biomaterials to reduce patient risks, clinician frustration, and medical expense in vascular access and other applications.
- The first retrospective clinical study compared complication rates such as occlusions and replacements in 61 standard PICCs and 60 HydroPICCs, respectively.
- The second retrospective study compared complication rates of occlusions, replacements, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and phlebitis in 100 standard midline catheters and 100 HydroMID catheters.
- This clinical data proves its possible to transform patient outcomes and significantly reduce total medical expenses, said James Biggins, CEO of Access Vascular.
