Special ultrasonic device BactoSonic® 14.2

"Rapid microbiological diagnosis of implant infections. The therapeutic success of 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, and with BactoSonic® biofilms can be gently removed from the surface of an infected implant.

Working principle of the BactoSonic®:
The implant is placed in the liquid of the corresponding box and sonified in the BactoSonic® ultrasound bath specially developed for this procedure. Compared to other ultrasonic baths, this device works with low-frequency ultrasound at low intensity. The aim is to remove the biofilm without destroying the bacteria that must be present for the subsequent analysis. The liquid obtained is microbiologically processed and the amount of bacteria is quantified. Up to 10,000 times more bacteria can be detected than with conventional methods, such as biopsies of periprosthetic tissue. Mixed infections and different bacterial morphotypes can be better detected. Sensitivity is particularly improved in patients with previous antibiotic therapy.
