Providing Comprehensive Catheter Care with Proven Antimicrobial Lock Solutions
As the exclusive distributor of TauroPharm GmbH products in Australia, New Zealand, and the South Pacific, Prima MediPharm is proud to offer healthcare professionals clinically proven solutions for catheter lock management.
TauroLock™ combines taurolidine with citrate and, in some formulations, includes heparin or a thrombolytic agent, making it suitable for high-risk central lines by providing broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti-occlusive, and anti-biofilm protection.
NutriLock™ provides reliable antimicrobial protection with taurolidine as the single active ingredient, free from citrate and heparin. Recommended for catheters not exposed to blood, NutriLock™ is also an option for patients in whom citrate should be avoided, and can be used after parenteral nutrition sessions or, in select oncology cases, after chemotherapy sessions.
