First Claim
Patent Images
1. An antimicrobial catheter device, comprising:
- a catheter having a tip end, a base end, and an extended portion extending therebetween, the catheter further having an outer surface including a transdermal surface and an intravascular surface; and
an antimicrobial agent applied to the transdermal surface of the outer surface, such that following insertion of the catheter into a patient, the antimicrobial agent is interposedly positioned between the transdermal surface and a skin surface of the patient.
