Lubri-Sil I.C. Silicone Cath. Bactiguard® coated; CH12 Nel 2Lu 10ml L40 (12 pcs.)

Lubri-Sil™ I.C. Silicone Urinary Catheter with Bard® Hydrogel and Bactiguard® Precious Metal Coating again available! 

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® precious metal alloy

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

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

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. On contact with fluid (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 that no toxic or pharmacologically active substances are released in relevant quantities.

The catheters are supplied in packing 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, pharmacies and medical supply stores.
