NitriCap Catheter Insert Device
NitriCap is a single-use antimicrobial catheter insert device that uses breakthrough nitric oxide-eluting technology to fight catheter-related bloodstream infections.
How It Works
Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheters (TDC)

During an in-clinic dialysis session (3 times / week), caps to access each TDC lumen are removed for dialysis procedure access.
Infections & Dysfunction

Bacteria is most often introduced into TDC at hub. It then adheres to biofilm (a thin slimy film) or activated platelets (clots) inside TDC which lead to bloodstream infections.
