- Quick-release couplings for easy filter changing
Baclyser® WG
The Baclyser® WG hollow-fibre filter is specially used in inlets of burn baths and birthing tubs. This disposable water filter is an inline, sterile filter with a 0.2 μm hollow-fibre membrane which displays retention of at least 7 log units1, thereby offering reliable protection of patients from infections by all critical water-borne germs such as legionella, pseudomonas, staphylococci or stenotrophomonas over a service life of up to 3 months and depending on the respective water quality. The chemical composition of the water is not altered.
The hygienic design and the use of bacteriostatic material in the housing prevents retrograde contamination incurred by splash water or physical contact. On expiry of the service life, the respective filter must be changed and disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner via material recycling. This filter change is easy to complete thanks to installation of the quick-release adapters.
An individual product marking on the product packaging guarantees traceability and facilitates the documentation process within the framework of hospital hygiene procedures.
Baclyser® WG is also as CE-marked medical device available.
