Lubri-Sil I.C. Silicone Cath. Bactiguard® coated; CH16 Fr 3-way 10ml L40 (12 pcs.)

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

The Bactiguard® coated transurethral catheters, which lead to a clinically comprehensively proven reduction in 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® noble metal alloy

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

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

The Bactiguard® technology is based on a wafer-thin layer of a precious metal alloy (gold, silver and platinum content) that is firmly bonded to the catheter surface. On contact with liquid (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 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 KVAs.
They can be obtained either directly from AUROSAN, or from pharmaceutical wholesalers or pharmacies and medical supply stores.
