In October last year, Bactiguard won a tender for urinary catheters for Sweden’s second largest county, the Västra Götaland region (VGR), but the tender was appealed in other areas than Bactiguard’s products. Now the contract is in place, and healthcare providers in both primary and secondary care and 49 municipalities in the region can purchase Bactiguard’s urinary catheters for infection prevention.
”We are very pleased that the contract is finally in place so that our activities can get started in Sweden’s second largest region. With this contract, our urinary catheters will be available to healthcare providers covering 70 % of the Swedish population”, says Nina Nilsson, SVP Sales and Marketing at Bactiguard.
The contract comprises the urinary catheter BIP Foley Catheter Silicone and runs from 25 September 2018 for a period of two years and can be extended by another two.
Bactiguard is today procured through tenders in the following Swedish regions/counties: Stockholm, Skåne, Östergötland, Värmland, Halland, Kronoberg, Kalmar, Blekinge and now also Västra Götaland. Together they cover approx. 70 % of the Swedish population.
