More Information
Summary:An antiseptic polymeric material, wherein an antimicrobial compound is covalently bonded to the material, and the material is used for contacting with a luer lock. The antiseptic polymeric material may help disinfect or prevent any further microbial contamination to the luer lock, wherein the use of a covalently bound antimicrobial compound may also reduce any risk of having the antimicrobial compound entering the intravenous line and being exposed to the patient bloodstream. Preferably, the antiseptic polymeric material may be used in the healthcare industry for disinfection, the suppression of, reduction in and/or maintenance of the microbial load on a surface of the luer lock.
