Abstract
Tunneled infusion catheter breakage is common. Given the high breakage rates observed for many catheter designs, the development of more durable catheters should be a priority for catheter manufacturers. Until more durable catheters are developed, the catheter repair kit studied is an easy, effective, durable, and relatively inexpensive solution for the repair of external segment damage in tunneled infusion catheters.
