A short list of devices where biofilms on silicone matter:
→ Central venous and urinary catheters (CRBSI, CAUTI risk)
→ Voice prostheses (re-intervention every 4–6 months in some patients)
→ Contact lenses and storage cases (microbial keratitis)
→ Silicone breast implants (capsular contracture, prosthetic infection)
→ Cochlear implant and pacemaker components
→ Drug-delivery systems and silicone-based medical adhesives
The new silicone-coated MBEC Assay® pegs give you 96 silicone surfaces in a single device for high-throughput biofilm screening on the substrate your device actually uses.
