Uro-Tainer PHMB Polihexanide (0.02%) 100ml | Carton of 10

Irrigation solution for urinary catheter maintenance

Features

• Mechanical rinsing of urinary catheters (i.e. removal of debris)

• Bacterial decolonisation

• Safe and well tolerated

• Easy to use and quick to administer

Uro-Tainer® PHMB is a catheter maintenance solution for reducing bacterial colonisation within the catheter. It comes in a closed, easy to use delivery system and is used for routine removal of bacteria from suprapubic and indwelling urethral catheters.

The Uro-Tainer® concept was developed over 25 years ago to replace standard bladder irrigation using syringes. This system reduces the associated risks of contamination and excessive pressure and/ or vaccum on the bladder wall⁸.

Benefits

• Completely closed system

• Gentle delivery to patients

• Sterile and ready for immediate use

Uro-Tainer® PHMB is more effective than saline in reducing the bacterial load in the catheter and shows greater than 99.9% bactericidal activity⁷ reducing:

• Staphylococcus aureus

• Pseudomonas aeruginosa

• Escherichia coli K12

• Proteus mirabilis

• Klebsiella pneumoniae ESBL

Properties of PHMB
