Infection prevention
Prevent healthcare associated infections with Bactiguard’s unique technology. It is based on a thin noble metal alloy coating – this is how it works!
Leading experts in Sweden discuss technologies to prevent infections in clinical practice. This is part of a symposium made in collaboration between Bactiguard, Karolinska University Hospital, and the University Hospital of Northern Sweden.
The catheter surface attracts bacteria. As the bacteria multiply, they can form biofilm that increases the risk of urinary tract infection.
Each year 1 of 10 patients in the world suffers from healthcare associated infections (HAI). These are infections received in hospitals or other healthcare units. Often, they occur in connection to medical or surgical procedures.
Bactiguard’s Board Director and Senior Advisor Cecilia Edström participated in a Life Science panel discussion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
For Expo 2020, Bactiguard’s Chief Medical Officer Stefan Grass gathered with representatives from three other Swedish life science companies to discuss global health challenges such as antimicrobial resistance.
Healthcare associated infections (HAI) are an acute and growing problem worldwide. More infections contribute to increased antibiotic resistance. Many HAIs are caused by bacterial growth on medical devices …
