Biofilms and catheters • Biofilms can develop on the external or internal surface of the catheter. • Can contribute to catheter - associated UTIs and catheter blockages. • Often infections and blockage can reoccur. • Up to 50% patients undergoing long - term catheterisation will experience encrustations and subsequent blockage. • Blockages are most commonly due to the presence of Proteus mirabilis , a urease - producing bacterium which causes a rapid increase in urine pH, leading to crystal formation and encrustations.

Conclusions of In Vitro Study • Previous testing concluded that coated and impregnated catheters were deemed innecfective • Bacteria attach to the catheter surface rapidly and after only 2 hours, are surrounded by material which is polysaccharide - based. • Complex crystalline biofilms can develop quickly. • Alternative control methods include the use of impregnated materials and active coatings – but these may lead to resistance or be ineffective. • The Nanovibronix TM UroShield TM device was tested on catheters under controlled laboratory conditions in flow models using an artificial urine medium. Produced the best results of any prior tests. • Have tracked the effect on E. coli , Proteus and Pseudomonas attachment and biofilm formation. • There is no impact of the immune system or human cells, ultrasound has been shown to stimulate the action of neutrophils.
