Patients undergoing CIED (Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device) implantation with TYRX, Inc.’s FDA-cleared AIGISRx Antibacterial Envelope enjoyed a 99.5% rate of successful implantation with an overall infection rate of 0.48% in the first 1.9 months following the procedure, as reported in newly published results of TYRX’s COMMAND Clinical Study. There were no infections in patients receiving initial implantations of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, or cardiac resynchronization therapy devices. The infection rate within the highest risk cohort, ICD/CRT-D replacements/revisions, demonstrated 70% fewer infections than some previous studies.
