Lubri-Sil I.C. Silicone Cath. Bactiguard™ Coated; 20 FR Nel, 2 Lum, 10 ml, 40cm (12 pcs.)
Bactiguard™ is available again!
The Bactiguard™-coated transurethral catheters, which have been clinically proven to significantly reduce catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs, CAUTI), have now been re-approved from MDD to MDR and are available again.
There are now two variants:
Bardex I.C. Latex core with Bactiguard™ coating
and
Lubri-Sil I.C. Silicone core with Bactiguard™ coating
The I.C. stands for "Infection Control", i.e. the clinically proven reduction of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs, CAUTI).
The catheters are coated with Bactiguard™ both internally and externally and additionally provided with a hydrophilic top layer.
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. Upon contact with fluid (urine), the precious metals generate 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 that no toxic or pharmacologically active substances are released in relevant quantities.
The catheters are supplied in packs of 12 and can also be prescribed as practice supplies in some KV districts.
They can be obtained either directly from AUROSAN, or through pharmaceutical wholesalers, pharmacies, and medical supply stores.
We would be happy to advise you, provide information on clinical data, and explain how to access the Bactiguard™-coated transurethral catheters Bardex I.C. or Lubri-Sil I.C.
