Why Choose TauroLock™ Products?
Biofilm Prevention and Eradication
Infection Prevention
Central venous catheters (CVCs) are essential but vulnerable to infections that can critically impact patient safety. TauroLock™ products, combining taurolidine and 4% citrate, are clinically proven to protect catheters, significantly reducing the risk of infections.
Occlusion Prevention
TauroLock™ products reduces the risk of catheter blockages by preventing biofilm formation and maintaining catheter patency.
Triple Efficacy
Clinically Proven Protection Against Occlusion, Infection, and Biofilm
TauroLock™ products are built on the foundation of Triple Efficacy, offering three layers of protection: Anti-Occlusion, Anti-Infection, and Anti-Biofilm. By preventing blockages, eradicating biofilm, and significantly reducing catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs), TauroLock™ solutions ensure optimal catheter performance and patient safety.
Powered by taurolidine, an antimicrobial agent effective against over 500 pathogens—including resistant strains like MRSA and VRE—TauroLock™ products are clinically proven to safeguard catheters in a wide range of medical applications, improving patient outcomes and minimising the need for catheter replacements and maintenance.
What Makes TauroLock™ Products the Right Choice?
Unlike conventional single-ingredient lock solutions, TauroLock™ products utilise a powerful combination of taurolidine and 4% citrate, alongside other active ingredients like heparin, to deliver multiple benefits in one solution. This formulation provides antimicrobial protection, prevents occlusions, and maintains catheter flow rates. Some products include fibrinolytic properties, further enhancing catheter performance and longevity.
