Bardex™ I.C. Latex Cath. Hydrogel and Bactiguard® coated; CH14 Nel 2-way 10ml L40 (12 pcs.)
Bardex™ I.C. Urinary Catheter
with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard®-precious metal coating soon available in Germany!
The Bactiguard® coated transurethral catheters, which lead to a clinically comprehensively proven reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI, CAUTI), have now been reclassified 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 above clinically proven reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI, CAUTI).
The catheters are coated both inside and outside with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard® .
Bactiguard® technology is based on an ultra-thin layer of a precious metal alloy (gold, silver and platinum components) that is firmly bonded to the catheter surface. In contact with liquid (urine), the precious metals create 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 no toxic or pharmacologically active substances are released in relevant quantities.
The catheters are supplied in packaging units of 12 and can also be prescribed in some KVs as practice supplies.
They can be obtained either directly from AUROSAN, or via 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 precious metal alloy
