Chlorag+ard Technology is a chlorhexidine-based protective treatment from the ARROW brand. Its application involves the usage of a proprietary process whereby chlorhexidine is chemically fused to the catheter surface providing a controlled release.
The internal and external catheter surfaces are treated with chlorhexidine protection with Chlorag+ard Technology offering an initial burst of chlorhexidine with a sustained release resulting in antithrombogenic and antimicrobial protection.
Arrow Midline with Chlorag+ard Technology has been designed to reduce common midline catheter complications such as catheter intraluminal occlusion, thrombus accumulation and microbial colonisation on the catheter surface for a minimum of 30 days.
Additionally, the new midline can also be used with a high-pressure injection for diagnostic studies.
