# NanoFlashing™ Medical | C-POLAR Source: https://cpolar.tech/medical/ The NanoFlashing™ Medical Device captures and destroys viruses, bacteria and fungal spores through a physical mechanism. This is the text of that page, in a form a machine can read. Nothing in it is paraphrased or shortened. After it come short extracts from other C-POLAR pages, each quoted word for word with the page it comes from. --- [Skip to the content](#medical) ## NanoFlashing™ Medical The body has an immune system. The medical device inside it does not. A catheter, screw, plate or replacement joint enters the body as a passive surface. Once implanted, it cannot be routinely cleaned. If bacteria reaches it, they can attach and grow unseen. The numbers show the scale. About 75% of hospital-acquired urinary infections are linked to catheters. Researchers in Innsbruck found bacteria on implants from [32 of 57 patients](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6436426/) who had no symptoms or signs of infection. And when a replacement joint becomes infected, the reported five-year mortality rate reaches [15% to 25%](https://europepmc.org/article/MED/30642705). Antibiotics are supposed to be the backup. Resistance is making that backup less certain. The body can defend itself. The device cannot. The NanoFlashing™ Medical Device has a permanent positive polarity, a fixed positive charge. The device captures and destroys up to 99.99% of viruses, bacteria and fungal spores through a physical mechanism, with no power and no chemicals.
