Unlike the anti-microbial coated devices which can lose effectiveness should they become damaged or suffer from erosion/diffusion, Aguamedicina™ does not lose its effectiveness as the material is exposed over time to the same physiological processes. Aguamedicina™ does not require the anti-microbial additives typically found in coatings of a conventional “anti-microbial” catheter material to exhibit the low bio-film build-up performance. This performance, Anti-fouling™, is an inherit characteristic of Aguamedicina™ primarily due to the high aqueous content of the material (i.e., 90% water).

Innovation for reduced health care costs and potential for improved patient comfort and care.
