Bardex™ I.C. Foley Catheter
The Bardex™ I.C. Foley Catheter is part of the Bard portfolio supplied by BD, positioned as an infection control catheter. BD states that it was developed to lower the occurrence of catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) and to reduce adherence of UTI pathogens. According to BD, the catheter has a coating that combines the Bactiguard® Coating with the Bard™ Hydrogel Coating, and these coatings are applied to both the inside and the outside of the catheter. BD indicates that Bardex™ I.C. Foley Catheters are used for transurethral and suprapubic drainage, and notes that the Bactiguard® Coating requires no special procedures for handling, use or disposal, so it fits within existing catheterisation practice. The dual coating approach reflects two objectives that BD associates with the device — reducing pathogen adherence as part of a CAUTI-reduction strategy and providing a hydrogel surface for the catheter in contact with the urinary tract. For urology, continence care and infection prevention teams in Azerbaijan, the relevant interest is an antimicrobial-coated Foley catheter used within a wider CAUTI-reduction programme. Azmed Devices provides manufacturer documentation, registration status, tender support and supply coordination for BD urology products.
