Antimicrobial Protection
- July 3, 2020
BioCote® is an antimicrobial silver additive used to limit the numbers of microbes on the surface of breathing circuits.
Many of the Armstrong Medical Breathing Systems, for example our AquaVENT® Heated Breathing Systems range, are protected by BioCote®, an antimicrobial silver additive is included in our circuits to limit the numbers of microbes on the surface of the breathing circuit, protecting it from microbial colonisation.
