He also talks about the company’s investigational catheter lock solution, DefenCath™, to reduce the risk of catheter-related bloodstream infections (CBRSIs) from central venous catheters (CVCs), which can dramatically increase hospital costs and length of stay. An NDA has been submitted to the FDA.
