Bravida’s Innovative Solutions Impact Clinical Outcomes:

Wound Care

Chronic wounds impact the quality of life of many people across the globe. For example, in the United States, it affects nearly 2.5% (more than 8 million people).

Urology

In the United States, up to 80% of complicated urinary tract infections are attributable to indwelling urinary catheters. (36)

Vascular Access

CLABSIs are associated with a high-cost burden, accounting for approximately $46,000 per case. (34)

Surgical Site
Infections

Surgical site infections are the most frequent type of healthcare-associated infections, accounting for 14% − 25% of the total hospital-acquired infections. (32)

Burn

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus now is one of the leading organisms causing invasive infection in burns across the world, with burn units reporting rates of infection greater than 50%. (38)

Mechanical Circulatory Support

The overall mortality for driveline infection was 11.5%. (33)
Hospital-acquired infections during ECMO is 10–12% and their occurrence is likely to be more frequent compared with other critically ill patients. (40)
