Bactiguard Infection Control

Infection Control is a top priority for trauma surgeons. Below are some key statistics and our patient video, which highlights the reason infection control and prevention is such a priority.

3.2 Million Prevalence

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.

€7 Billion Socioeconomic Impact

This leads to 16 million extra-days of hospital stay and costs approximately €7 billion annually across Europe2.

65% Biofilm Infection

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.
