Abstract: An anti-infection catheter arrangement with catheter (1), which exhibits a rigid or flexible catheter tube with the connection piece (10) furnished at a rear side end, wherein the filling and suction device (1) with several reservoirs of active agent is connectable to the connection piece (10), wherein at least one of the active agent reservoirs is filled with a substance, containing at least one antibiotic, or, respectively chemo-therapeutic agent or, respectively, an anti-viral agent, preferably aminoglycoside, preferably gentamicin (13) in an at least minimum effective concentration, wherein a further one of the reservoirs is filled with a substance containing or forming at least one essentially non-damaging material to the tissue cells and blood cells, preferably an anticoagulant, in particular heparin (12), wherein the filling and suction device (1) is constructed such that this substance essentially can be filled into the region of the tip of the catheter tube (15) and wherein the total volume of the re

Abstract: Anti-infection catheter arrangement comprising a catheter which has a rigid or flexible catheter tube with a connection piece at the distal end, characterized by a filling and suction device which can be attached to the connection piece and one or more active principle reservoirs with a total volume equal to the capacity of the catheter, possibly in addition the volume of intermediate pieces, in particular a three-way valve. This volume is entirely filled and at least one of the active principle reservoirs is filled with a substance containing at least an antibiotic agent or a chemotherapeutic agent or an antiviral agent, preferably aminoglycoside, in particular gentamycin, in at least a minimal effective concentration.
