Bardex™ I.C. Latex Cath. Hydrogel and Bactiguard® coated; CH12 Nel 2L 10ml L40 (12 pcs)

Bardex™ I.C. Urinary Catheter
with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard® noble metal coating soon available in Germany! 

The Bactiguard® coated transurethral catheters, which lead to a clinically proven reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI, CAUTI), have now been re-approved from MDD to MDR and are available again.

There are now two variants: 

Bardex™ I.C.: latex core, coated with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard®

and 

Lubri-Sil I.C.: Silicone core coated with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard®

The I.C. stands for "Infection Control", i.e. the clinically proven reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI, CAUTI) mentioned above.

The catheters are coated both inside and out with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard®.

Bactiguard® technology is based on an ultra-thin layer of a noble metal alloy (gold, silver and platinum components) that is firmly bonded to the catheter surface. In contact with fluid (urine), the noble metals generate a galvanic effect that reduces microbial adhesion. The reduced adhesion of bacteria to the catheter surface reduces biofilm formation and thus the risk of bacterial urinary tract infections.

The Bactiguard® coating is firmly bonded to the catheter core, so that no toxic or pharmacologically active substances are released in relevant quantities.

The catheters are supplied in packs of 12 and can also be prescribed as practice supplies in some health insurance regions (KVen).
They can be obtained either directly from AUROSAN, or from pharmaceutical wholesalers, pharmacies or medical supply stores.

We would be happy to advise you, inform you about the clinical data and explain how to access the Bactiguard®-coated transurethral catheters Bardex™ I.C. or Lubri-Sil™ I.C. urinary catheters with noble metal alloy
