Method for preventing biofilm formation on at least one luminal surface of a catheter system (1). The catheter system (1) comprises a collection vessel (4) and a tube (3) coupled to the collection vessel (4). The catheter system (1) comprises a catheter connector (2, 20, 200) coupled to the tube (3) and connectable to a catheter (6). The method comprises the consecutive steps of connecting the catheter connector (2, 20, 200) to the catheter (6) and supplying a silicon oil to an interior (25, 205) of the catheter connector. A catheter assembly comprising a catheter connector (20) comprising a port (24) providing access to the interior (25) of the connector and a dispensing unit (50) containing a silicon oil. A catheter connector (200) comprising a reservoir (207) containing a silicon oil and a releasing mechanism (208) releasing the silicone oil into the interior (205) of the connector.
A method for preventing biofilm formation on at least one luminal surface of a catheter system, the catheter system comprising a collection vessel and a tube having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the tube is coupled to the collection vessel, wherein the catheter system further comprises a catheter connector coupled to the second end of the tube and connectable to a catheter, wherein the method comprises the consecutive steps of:
A catheter assembly for preventing biofilm formation on a luminal surface of a catheter system, wherein the catheter assembly comprises:
A catheter connector for preventing biofilm formation on a luminal surface of a catheter system, wherein the catheter connector is connectable to a catheter and to a tube coupled to a collection vessel, wherein the catheter connector comprises a reservoir containing a silicon oil and a releasing mechanism releasing the silicone oil into the interior of the connector upon activation of the releasing mechanism.
