Silver ions have long been recognized for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. Ionic silver is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as fungi. Ionic silver hydrophilic catheter coatings can be very effective against the most common and serious UTI pathogens, including, E. coli, Candida albicians, Staph aureus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, MRSA, CRE and others. Silvertouch catheters incorporate the power of silver through a patented process that binds silver ions to the catheter?s lubricious coating.Every Silvertouch catheter has a coating that hydrates rapidly and maintains its lubricity for at least seven days, helping to reduce friction and irritation. The coating is covalently bonded to the silicone catheter surface and will not peel, flake or crack.Why are Silvertouch catheters green? The brilliant color is visual evidence of the silver hydrophilic coating of each catheter.Silvertouch catheters are latex-free, offering patient ad caregiver safety, with the advantages of a 100% silicone catheter.
