Lubri-Sil I.C. Silicone Cath. Bactiguard® coated; CH16 Nel 2-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 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® precious metal alloy

The I.C. stands for "Infection Control", meaning the aforementioned clinically proven reduction in 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 components) that is firmly bonded to the catheter surface. When in contact with fluid (urine), the precious metals create 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 toxic or pharmacologically active substances are released in relevant quantities.

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