Multicath 5 Hf Up - Recommended For: Hospital

The main component of the expert UP technology is the patented silver compound Agion incorporated into the catheter material. The Agion has a bacteriostatic activity. It is able to inhibit the growth or reproduction of gram and gram- bacteria, and fungi thanks to silver ions. Silver ions are continuously released out of the catheter when it comes into contact with blood, body fluids or infusion solutions. Microbial growth on the inner and outer surface of the catheter is suppressed, minimising the onset of catheter related sepsis. Due to the vast active substance content of silver ions, the antimicrobial effect unfolds over the entire life of the catheter.
