“…They essentially consist of silver sulfadiazine, heparin, Trillium R [40] and/or coating with protective polymer layers preventing BaSO 4 release from the catheter surface [41]. Results regarding clinical impact on colonization are contradictory [42,43]. By lack of convincing clinical data, it is at present difficult to justify their additional cost.…”

HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment ProgrammeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA Programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA Programme is needs-led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route. Suggestions for research are actively sought from people working in the NHS, the public and consumer groups and professional bodies such as royal colleges and NHS trusts. These sugges...

“…A controlled trial evaluating the use of silver-coated tunneled hemodialysis catheters demonstrated no benefi t in terms of CRBSI prevention. 24 An additional trial showed a decreased rate of CRBSI with use of minocycline-rifampin coated hemodialysis catheters; however, the mean duration of catheterization in this trial was only 8 days. 25 Additional preventative strategies for CRBSI have included use of strict aseptic technique, tunneled (versus non-tunneled) catheters, and topical antiseptic or antibiotic agents (e.g., chlorhexidine, povidone-iodine, mupirocin) applied to the catheter exit-site.…”

Tunneled hemodialysis catheters: use of a silver-coated catheter for prevention of infection--a randomized study.

Abstract: Silver coating does not confer a benefit against clinical infection or colonization. Interventional radiologic placement of tunneled dialysis catheters yields a low frequency of permanent central venous thrombosis and stenosis.
