Taurolock HEP 500 Injection 5ml (Ampoule) is a sterile catheter lock solution containing Heparin and Taurolidine, designed to maintain the patency and sterility of central venous catheters used in hemodialysis, parenteral nutrition, or long-term IV therapies.

Heparin acts as an anticoagulant, preventing blood clot formation, while Taurolidine serves as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent that prevents catheter-related infections caused by bacteria and fungi. Together, they ensure safe and effective vascular access for ongoing medical treatments.

Uses / Indications:

• Prevents catheter occlusion caused by clot formation

• Reduces catheter-related bloodstream infections

• Maintains patency in hemodialysis and IV lines

• Used for patients on long-term intravenous therapy or TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition)

• Supports infection-free dialysis and vascular maintenance

Dosage / Administration:

• Administered by a qualified healthcare professional only.

• The instillation volume depends on catheter lumen size.

• The lock solution is aspirated before each new infusion or dialysis session.

Benefits:

• Dual protection: anticoagulant and antimicrobial effects

• Reduces risk of catheter blockage and infection

• Improves catheter lifespan and treatment safety

• Minimizes need for catheter replacements

• Promotes reliable access for dialysis and infusion therapy
