Silver Ions Provide Antimicrobial Action

Silver ions have long been recognized for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial action. Ionic silver is effective against grampositive 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 MRSA, VRE, E. coli, Candida albicans, Staph aureus, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, and others (see chart below). Silvertouch catheters incorporate the power of silver through a patented UV bonding process that binds silver ions to the catheter’s lubricious coating.
