Bardex™ I.C. Latex Cath. Hydrogel and Bactiguard® coated; CH24 FML 2L 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 switched from MDD to MDR approval 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", meaning the aforementioned clinically proven reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI, CAUTI).

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

The Bactiguard® technology is based on a wafer-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. By reducing the adhesion of bacteria to the catheter surface, biofilm formation and thus the risk of bacterial urinary tract infections are reduced.

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 are also prescribable as practice supplies in some KVAs (Kassenärztliche Vereinigungen - Associations of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians).
They can be obtained either directly from AUROSAN, or via pharmaceutical wholesalers, pharmacies, and medical supply stores.

We will 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.
