Cook Medical Spectrum Technology

Strive for a complete infection prevention strategy.

As process guidelines have improved in recent years, so has infection control technology. Between maximal sterile barrier precautions and Cook Spectrum technology, the path to lowering the risk of central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) and catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) has never been more clear or more proven.

Validated by over 30 references and sources and two decades of experience, Spectrum catheters are impregnated with minocycline and rifampin (M+R) to help patients by providing proven protection against CRBSIs.¹
