Canoxidin is an innovative solution designed to prevent the risks of complications associated with indwelled urological devices like double J stents, Foley catheters, nephrostomies or urostomies.
Several complications are commonly associated with indwelled urological devices:
- CaUTIs (Catheter associated Urinary Tract Infection).
- Blockages stopping complete urine voiding.
- Encrustations and incrustations can diffi cult the voiding, complicate removal procedure and lead to renal failure or even death.
- Noninfectious complications (i.e., pain or discomfort, leaking urine, urgency or bladder spasms, blood in the urine, and trauma to the surrounding skin).
Those complications have a higher tendencies in stone formers. (1)
The longer the duration the higher the tendency to develop encrustation. (1)
Up to 70% of patients with long-term catheters will suffer from catheter associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) and up to 50% from catheter blockage. (2)
- L-Methionine (4,5) Acidifi er Counteracts tendency to alkaline urine due to urease positive bacteria activity.
- Phytin (6,7,8) Inhibits calcium and magnesium cristallisation
- Prevents precipitation of alkaline-related crystals like brushite, hydroxyapatite or struvite.
- Theobromine (9,10) Specific inhibitor of uric acid cristallisation. Prevents precipitation of uric acid crystals.
UNIQUE COMBINATION OF ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
- Canoxidin® decreases more than 8 times the probability of severe to complete blockage of urological devices. (11)
- Canoxidin® signifi cantly reduced overall incrustation. (11)
- Canoxidin® allows safer and longer indwelling time of urological devices.
How it works?
Canoxidin has a dual mechanism of action to prevent bacteriuria and calcifi cation of the urological indwelling devices:
STENTS ENCRUSTATION /INCRUSTATION
- Foreign body introduction: Bacterial contaminatio
- Conditioning film formation (layer of proteins and organic molecules covering the device)
- Potential alkalinization of urine pH associated with contaminating urease positive bacteria
- Heteronucleation: crystal deposition (ions + minerals + organic matter)
- Incrustation / encrustation / blockage / leakage
FOLEY CATHETER
- Foreign body introduction: Bacterial contamination
- Conditioning fi lm formation (layer of proteins and organic molecules covering the device)
- Bacterial adhesión: alkalinisation due to urease positive bacteria (Proteus sp., Klebsiella sp., and Morganella sp.)
- Crystal deposition induced by bacteria
- Partial or complete blockage
- Uncomplete voiding
- Bacteriuria
- CaUTI
Indications:
For all patients with indwelling urological device or intermittent catheterization.
Benefits:
- Reduced probabilities of incrustations, encrustations or blocking, leading to a fast, cost-less and uncomplicated urological device removal procedures, non requiring extra surgical manipulations.
- Smooth and non-tissue damaging extraction because non-crystallized urological devices surface.
- Longer times of indwelling devices without changes.
- Reduced consumption of antibiotics.
- Less CaUTIs or UTIs associated to stent wearing.
- Improve patient’s quality of life.
How to use:
3 tablets per day, one before each meal with a glass of water, during the indwelling time of the device
