Chlorhexidine-coated peripherally inserted central catheters reduce fibroblastic sleeve formation in an in vivo ovine model.

CONCLUSION: Among the three anti-thrombogenic peripherally inserted central catheter technologies, the chlorhexidine-peripherally inserted central catheter had the smallest fibroblastic sleeves, followed by the fluoro-oligomer-peripherally inserted central catheter, poly 2-methoxyethyl acrylate-peripherally inserted central catheter, and control peripherally inserted central catheter.
