Lubri-Sil I.C. Silicone Cath. Bactiguard® coated; CH14 Nel 2-way 10ml L40 (12 pcs)

Lubri-Sil™ I.C. Siliconeurinary catheters with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard® noble metal coating available again!

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® noble metal alloy

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 outside with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard® .

The Bactiguard® technology is based on a wafer-thin layer of a noble metal alloy (gold, silver, and platinum components) that is firmly bonded to the catheter surface. Upon contact with fluid (urine), the noble metals generate a galvanic effect that reduces microbial adhesion. By reducing bacterial adhesion 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 release of toxic or pharmacologically active substances occurs in relevant quantities.

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