Argentic

Product catalog summary
Overview: Argentic is a range of antimicrobial breathing systems designed to reduce the risk of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI) by combating microbial contamination in clinical settings. These systems are impregnated with a silver ion additive that inactivates microbes through a catalytic reaction when exposed to oxygen.
Antimicrobial Efficacy: The antimicrobial properties of Argentic were tested against S. aureus and E. coli. The tests showed significant reductions in bacterial counts: >log 5.0 (99.999%) for E. coli and >log 3.7 (99.98%) for S. aureus. The systems demonstrated "clean plate" results, indicating no detectable bacterial colonies after testing.
Product Variants: Argentic offers various breathing systems, including:
  • Adult Mapleson Breathing Systems: Available in different configurations such as Bain System (Mapleson D), Magill System (Mapleson A), and Parallel Lack (Mapleson A).
  • Adult Circular Breathing Systems: Includes Basic Parallel, Basic Parallel with Limb, and Basic Parallel with Swivel Y configurations.
  • Adult Bain Breathing Systems: Features Basic Bain Coaxial Systems with different lengths and configurations.
  • Ventiflow Coaxial Breathing Systems: Offers flexibility for use in Intensive Care and Anaesthetic procedures, available in variations with or without APL Valve and monitoring lines.
References: The document cites several studies and articles related to the antimicrobial effects of silver ions and their impact on bacterial respiratory chains.
