Hospital Cost Benefit

Collatamp G has demonstrated a 50-85% reduction in surgical site infections across 42 clinical studies involving more than 4700 patients.

In addition to improved patient outcomes, Collatamp G demonstrates hospital cost savings from reduced length of stay as well as from reduced surgical revisions and repeat surgeries

Used for 20 years in two million patients worldwide, Collatamp G has no reported adverse events.

Now available in Canada, Collatamp G can be used as a local adjunct to systemic antibiotic prophylaxis and the Safer Healthcare Now surgical site infection bundle in high-risk surgical patients.

Even at low surgical site infection rates, Collatamp G offers hospitals a cost benefit. 

For example, prophylactic use of Collatamp G in high-risk surgical patients results in break-even costs at the following procedural infection rates: 

  • Cardiac surgery: 1.7%
  • Hip replacement surgery: 2.1%
  • Colorectal surgery: 5.6%

These rates of infection are far below Canadian benchmark data.
