Abstract
Abstract Antimicrobial compositions finding particular utility for coating access systems, lead devices including shunts, cannulae, catheters, catheter adapters, wires and other solid or hollow tubular devices used for a variety of medical purposes is provided. The composition comprises a material selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers, polyvinyl chloride, mixtures thereof, polyesters, polyurethanes, styrene-block copolymers, natural and synthetic rubbers, polycarbonates, nylon and silicone rubber mixed with an oligodynamic material consisting essentially of compounds of physiological, antimicrobial metals.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
94 words
An antimicrobial composition comprising: 30-99.85% by weight of a binder; and 0.15-70% by weight of an antimicrobial metal compound, said binder having a sufficiently low dielectric constant so as to allow said antimicrobial compound to form a chain-like structure to create an initial dose of antimicrobial action upon first use by allowing antimicrobial ions on a surface of said composition to dissove, said chain-like structure providing a pathway in said binder to allow interior antimicrobial ions in said composition to come to said surface of said composition to provide subsequent doses of antimicrobial action.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
