Hospital acquired infections - The fightback begins
Following the publication of the EPIC and CDC reports, Kimal announce the launch of the EPIC range of central venous catheterisation packs. The design of theses packs meets the guidelines of the UK EPIC Project into Hospital Acquired Infections and that of the USA CDC Report into Intravascular Device Infections. These packs include everything required to safely and antiseptically insert an Arrow Arrowg+ard™ central venous catheter. By utilising the technology in these packs, we can help hospitals dramatically reduce the incidence and costs associated with catheter related bloodstream Infections. The new packs will be available during October 2003
