Antimicrobial coating on catheter is Silver Zirconium. This coating is on the internal and external surfaces, as well as the hub of the catheter, to inhibit bacteria growth without the risk of baterial resistance
Silver Zirconium enables bactericidal activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. It is also effective against yeast and has been used effectively as a topical anti-infective for the prevention and treatment of wound sepsis on patients with second and third degree burns
Its antimicrobial action suppresses the incidence of microbial colonization on the indwelling catheter and at the insertion site Silver Zirconium has been shown to reduce the incidence of catheter-related complication when compared to catheters without an antibacterial coat
