Bardex™ I.C. Latex Cath. Hydrogel and Bactiguard® coated; CH16 Nel 2Lu 10ml L40 (12 pcs)

Bardex™ I.C. Urinary Catheters
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 clinically proven reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTI, CAUTI).

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

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. When in contact with fluid (urine), the precious metals generate a galvanic effect that reduces microbial adhesion. The reduced adhesion of bacteria to the catheter surface minimizes 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 packaging units of 12 and can also be prescribed as practice supplies in some KV areas.
They can be obtained either directly from AUROSAN, or through 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
