Antimicrobial Protection
BioCote® is an antimicrobial silver additive used to limit the numbers of microbes on the surface of breathing circuits.

Many of the Breathing Systems from Eakin Healthcare’s AquaVENT® and NeoFlow® product range are protected by BioCote®, an antimicrobial silver additive that is included in the manufacturing process of our circuits to limit the numbers of microbes on the surface of the breathing circuit, to protect it from microbial colonisation.
How BioCote® technology works
BioCote® technology protects products by binding with microbes contaminating its surface. Microbes do not survive being exposed to BioCote® technology.
BioCote® technology is an ideal way maintaining a more hygienic product surface between cleans.
Protection
- Reduces microbes by up to 99.99%
- Significant reductions within 15 minutes
- Up to 99.5% reduction in just 2 hours
- Works continuously for the expected lifetime of the product
