Application Areas

Reduces infection – but not at the expense of biocompatibility
The Bactiguard® coating should ideally be applied on all medical devices or material, where the risk of infection is elevated due to device handling or patient management.

Characteristics can easily be modified to match the criteria of different applications. The noble metal content can be readily adjusted to a specific need. Since the coating is extremely thin, it does not change the device’s physical properties or require any change in hospital procedure.
