LYNKCOAT®-Coated Silicone Urinary Catheter
LYNKS All Silicone Foley Catheter applies LYNKCOAT® surface technology to a silicone urinary catheter. The coating is designed to reduce surface friction, limit the adhesion of proteins and bacteria, and resist biofilm formation. The manufacturer-provided LYNKCOAT® catheter comparison reports insertion friction of 1.12 N for a catheter with hydrophilic gel and 0.83 N for a LYNKCOAT® catheter, with a reported reduction of 25.9%. These are surface-friction comparison values, not clinical rates of pain or infection reduction. Contact us for test conditions and applicable specifications.
