Abstract

Implantation of indwelling catheters in sheep presents numerous problems, including exit-site inflammation and infection and lacerated catheters from chewing. In order to address these issues, we designed a new abdominal wrap for a chronic drug study. These wraps provided protection of the catheters and exit sites, with no chewed catheters or visible signs of exit-site inflammation or infection for up to 22 weeks postoperatively.
