Title
Silver coated catheter.
Abstract
The article reports on the use of BARDEX I.C., a silver alloy coated Foley catheter, by Bard Ltd. in the health care industry in Great Britain. The catheter helps reduce catheter associated urinary tract infection by more than a third because of its unique combination of slow release silver ions and hydrogel coating. This feature reduces the ability of bacteria to bond to the surface.
