BactoSonic BS 14.2 Set

Description

Special ultrasonic bath for the gentle removal of biofilms

The success of treatment for implant infections depends on precise microbiological diagnosis. Because microorganisms form biofilms on parts foreign to the body, they are often difficult to detect in surrounding tissue. Therapy is therefore only possible to a limited extent.
With the help of the BactoSonic ultrasonic special bath, biofilms can be gently removed from the surface of an infected implant. Compared to other ultrasonic baths, the device works with low-frequency ultrasound at low intensity. This means that the detached microorganisms are not destroyed, but are preserved for subsequent, mircobiological analysis.
According to the scientifically based procedure, the implant is placed in a box included in the scope of delivery, covered with liquid and sonicated in the BactoSonic ultrasonic special bath. The liquid obtained is processed microbiologically and the amount of bacteria is quantified. Up to 10,000 times more bacteria can be detected than with usual methods, such as from biopsies of periprosthetic tissue. Mixed infections and different bacterial morphotypes become more detectable. Sensitivity is improved, especially in patients with previous antibiotic therapy.
