The innovative hygiene module for advanced patient safety
Thanks to its advanced technology, catheters with VentriGuard® offer increased patient protection from catheter-associated infections. To control pathogenic germs, the VentriGuard® technology utilizes minimal amounts of ionized silver, completely incorporated in a non-metallic porous molecular structure. The oligodynamic effect of silver against gram-positive as well as gram-negative bacteria has been impressively verified in specialist literature.
The quadruple antimicrobial effect of silver ions
1. It affects the bacterial cell’s functional and structural proteins: Cell integrity and proliferation are reduced.
2. The bacterial cell wall is changed structurally: The cell wall’s strength and functionality decrease and the bacterium loses its protection.
3. It attacks the cell membrane, releasing potassium and sodium ions: The resulting electrolytic imbalance causes the dieback of the cell.
4. Binding to the functional proteins: The cell metabolism is blocked.
