Hypochlorous Acid-Generating Electrochemical Catheter Prototype for Prevention of Intraluminal Infection

Hypochlorous Acid-Generating Electrochemical Catheter Prototype for Prevention of Intraluminal Infection

ABSTRACT Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) contributes to mortality and cost. While aseptic dressings and antibiotic-impregnated catheters prevent some extraluminal infections, intraluminal infections remain a source of CLABSIs. In this proof-of-concept study, an electrochemical...
