Clinical study 2018
“... use of taurolidine-based catheter lock solutions containing heparin [TauroLock™-HEP500] and urokinase [TauroLock™-U25.000] significantly reduced complications related to tunneled hemodialysis catheters when compared to four percent citrate solution and was overall more cost-efficient.”
