What is the KERRIER Local Antibiotic Delivery Kit?

The KERRIER Local Antibiotic Delivery Kit is a single-use, veterinary-specific medical device that allows antibiotics to be delivered directly to a localised treatment site. Using high-purity, medical-grade calcium sulfate, the system enables clinicians to create implantable beads that release antibiotics precisely where they are needed.

Antibiotics are selected and added by the treating veterinarian, providing full clinical control and flexibility depending on the case.

Once implanted, the beads are gradually resorbed by the body over approximately three to five weeks. This removes the need for surgical removal and supports a smoother, more straightforward recovery process.

What’s included in the kit?

Each single-use kit is supplied as a complete sterile system and includes:

• Calcium sulfate powder

• Saline mixing solution

• Mixing tools

• Bead moulds for both 3mm and 5mm beads

Antibiotics are not included, allowing clinicians to make appropriate case-by-case decisions.

Why choose calcium sulfate for local antibiotic delivery?

Medical-grade calcium sulfate has a long-established role in infection management due to its biocompatibility and predictable resorption profile. In KERRIER Local Antibiotic Delivery Kits, this material acts as a carrier, transporting antibiotics directly to infected or high-risk areas while minimising systemic exposure.

Key benefits include:

• Fully absorbable material – no second procedure required

• Predictable antibiotic elution over time

• Effective filling of dead space

• Suitable for use in both infected and non-infected bone and soft tissue sites

These qualities make the system particularly valuable in orthopaedic procedures, trauma cases and complex wound management.
