Urinary bladder catheterization is performed for both therapeutic and perioperative purposes.
CAUTI are among the most common HAIs — about 75% of hospital UTIs are associated with a urinary catheter.
CAUTI are preventable by implementing infection prevention process and safe catheter insertion, maintenance, and removal.
CDC recommends Antimicrobial Impregnated Foley Catheters for reducing CAUTI rates
[Category 1B].
Thanks to the scientists for their persistent research and innovation for the development of patented silver nanoparticles — NanoAgCide impregnated SilvoGuard Foley Balloon Catheter.
NanoAgCide particles are directly impregnated into the catheter material — stabilized and uniformly compounded for faster, better antimicrobial action.
Patented ProcessCreates a protective zone of inhibition of 4–10mm around the catheter, preventing microbial biofilm formation on contact surfaces.
In Vitro VerifiedSuperior antimicrobial action on clinically relevant microbial strains and uro-pathogens in close contact with the catheter.
Clinical DataContinuous release of active silver ions for more than 40 days — protecting patients in both short-term and long-term catheterization.
Proven DurabilityClinicians have confirmed SilvoGuard to be non-toxic, easy to use, and safe in nature — suitable for routine clinical application.
Clinically ValidatedNanoAgCide is uniformly distributed throughout the catheter material, ensuring consistent and reliable antimicrobial performance.
Advanced ManufacturingReduction of microbial colonization by SilvoGuard has been verified for clinically relevant microbial strains in 'in-vitro' testing.
SilvoGuard exhibits superior antimicrobial action on uro-pathogens in close contact, creating a protective zone of inhibition of 4mm to 10mm.
Actively prevents microbial biofilm formation on the catheter surface — a key cause of CAUTI and associated complications.
A better option for regular urinary catheterization — alongside patient care treatment, it helps reduce and prevent CAUTI.

SilvoGuard Antimicrobial Foley Balloon Catheter is proven highly effective in the conducted studies for CAUTI prevention / reduction in the patients with short term and long term use of urinary catheterization days. Clinicians also experienced SilvoGuard to be non-toxic, easy to use and safe in nature.
Also, other problem related to use of catheters such as smell, biofilm formation, encrustation or catheter blockage were prevented.
SilvoGuard Antimicrobial Foley Balloon Catheter releases active silver ions for more than 40 days.
Use standard aseptic procedure for catheterization.
Lubricate catheter generously with lubricant before insertion.
Insert catheter into the bladder and slowly inflate the balloon.
Ensure proper placement of the catheter within the bladder.
Connect the end of the catheter to the drainage bag.
