Safety and Efficacy Study of Angiotech Central Venous Catheter to Prevent Bacterial Catheter Colonization - Full Text View

Safety and Efficacy Study of Angiotech Central Venous Catheter to Prevent Bacterial Catheter Colonization

This study has been completed.

Sponsored by:	Angiotech Pharmaceuticals
Information provided by:	Angiotech Pharmaceuticals
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00288418

Purpose

The main purpose of this study is to determine if the Angiotech central venous catheter (CVC) is equal in effectiveness to a CVC coated with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine in preventing bacterial catheter colonization. Other objectives of this study are to determine if the Angiotech CVC is equal in effectiveness to a CVC coated with chlorhexidine and silver sulfadiazine in preventing catheter-related local infection, and catheter-related bloodstream infection. This study will also assess the safety of the Angiotech CVC.
