Infections hurt your patients, your HAC score, your bottom line, and much more. Help is here with Cook Spectrum technology.

The right combination

Cook Spectrum catheters are impregnated with a combination of the antibiotics minocycline and rifampin in order to help patients by providing proven protection against catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs).¹

Unmatched evidence

The efficacy of Cook Spectrum is supported by more than 30 sources published over the past two decades, including peer-reviewed studies and meta-analyses.

No evidence of increased resistance

More than 10 years of clinical use and a 7-year study of more than 500,000 Cook Spectrum catheter days have shown no evidence of increased antibiotic resistance.²

Worth switching

Switching from unimpregnated catheters to Cook Spectrum catheters helps provide quality patient care by decreasing the risk for CRBSIs and the costs associated with treating them.1,3
