Addressing quality of life and patient needs in the community setting.
CLINICAL NEED
Patients with percutaneous catheters needing prolonged infusion therapy often only require intermittent line access, but must contend with the bulky catheter extensions that restrict mobility and impact quality of life.
Despite best efforts, each year there are approximately 250,000 catheter-related bloodstream infections in the US alone, leading to nearly 50,000 deaths annually.
Economic impact to US hospitals exceeds $20 billion per year
External tugging on the catheter extensions can lead to micro movements with the implanted catheter and facilitate bacterial ingress
