BactoSonic BS 14.2 ultrasonic bath 13.5 Liter

Special ultrasound bath for the gentle removal of biofilms

l

The success of therapy for implant infections depends on a precise microbiological diagnosis. Because microorganisms form biofilms on foreign parts of 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 special ultrasound 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 retained for the subsequent microbiological analysis.
According to the scientifically based procedure, the implant is placed in a box included in the delivery, covered with liquid and sonified in the BactoSonic special ultrasound bath. The resulting liquid is processed microbiologically and the amount of bacteria is quantified. Up to 10,000 times more bacteria can be detected than with conventional methods, such as from biopsies of periprosthetic tissue. Mixed infections and different bacterial morphotypes become easier to detect. The sensitivity is particularly improved in patients with previous antibiotic therapy.
