In Europe 3.2 million patients are estimated to receive a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) diagnosis each year, of which an estimate 37,000 have proven to be fatal1.
This leads to 16 million extra-days of hospital stay and costs approximately €7 billion annually across Europe2.
More than 65% of the infections are related to biofilm3,4. In Orthopaedic trauma, an estimated 30% of cases may result in infection5, with almost 80% of all open fractures presenting some bacterial contamination6.
91.4% of patients implanted have not experienced infection1.
With Bactiguard 3-6 months mean time to union1.
Bactiguard Technology does not impair the bone integration.
