Bardex Infection Control Foley Catheter with Hydrogel Silver Coating

Bardex foley catheter with Hydrogel silver coating is a type of urinary catheter that is used to drain urine from the bladder. The catheter has a special coating of Hydrogel and silver, which can help reduce the risk of infection during catheterization. The hydrogel coating helps to reduce friction and discomfort during insertion and removal of the catheter. The silver coating has antibacterial properties, which can help prevent the growth of bacteria on the catheter surface and reduce the risk of a urinary tract infection. This type of catheter is commonly used in patients who are at a high risk of developing catheter-associated urinary tract infections.

The Bard Bardex Two-Way I.C. Infection Control Foley Catheter is an advanced catheter designed to help reduce potential catheter-associated infections. It features a two-way irrigation and antiseptic system that, when combined with a sterile closed system, helps to create a barrier against bacterial migration. As a result, this Infection Control Foley Catheter helps to reduce the incidence of catheter-associated urinary tract infections and other related complications. The two-way irrigation system ensures that bladder irrigation fluid remains inside of the catheter at all times, reducing the risk of leakage and also minimizing the risk of contact between the catheter and the patient’s skin. Moreover, the antiseptic system decreases bacterial colonization on and within the catheter, helping to protect patients from developing an infection. In short, Bard Bardex Two-Way I.C. Infection Control Foley Catheter is a state-of-the-art device that helps to ensure proper Infection Control Foley Catheter use and reduce the risk of infection.

Benefits of Bardex Infection Control Foley Catheter

• Reduces associated risk of Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI) by preventing organisms from entering the bladder
• Improved infection rate overall, resulting in better patient care
• Reduced risk of both urinary and vesicoureteral reflux
• Increased patient confidence and comfort as there is less risk of re-infection while catheter is in place
• Cost-effective due to fewer replacement catheters
• Allows early bladder movement and increases the comfort and confidence of the patients
• Ultra-smooth silicone material helps reduce the risk of96 patient urethral irritation and discomfort while catheter is in place
• Radiopaque, allows clinicians to assess the catheter’s placement and clinical performance digitally via contrast-enhanced imaging
• Triple lumen design facilitates more efficient drainage of bladder contents
• Color-coded ferrules offer enhanced identification without coring the catheter’s wall

How are Bardex Foley I.C. Catheters unique?
Research has shown that patients are 3.7 times more likely to get a catheter-caused infection with standard catheters. Not only are Bardex Infection Control Foley Catheter specifically designed to fight bacteria and prevent urinary tract infections in patients, they are also structurally superior to the competition. They are made with a hydrogel coating and a smooth tip for easy insertion, in order to prevent trauma to the urethra upon insertion and removal.
