Hydrogel and Hydrophilic Catheters
Intravenous (IV) catheters are commonly used in hospitals and medical facilities to administer medication, fluids, and nutrients directly into a patient's bloodstream. Blood cell adherence occurs within minutes of the insertion of polyurethane or silicone catheters into the bloodstream.
Introducing MIMIX Technology
A new novel biomaterial has been created to mimic the body’s natural chemistry and thus avoid the foreign body response. MIMIX is a new consistently hydrophilic biomaterial from Access Vascular that has the potential to change how not only vascular access devices are made - but many other healthcare technologies.
