Breakthrough Solution for Fragile Skin

Covalon’s IV Clear Dressing Recommended by Physicians at a Top 10 U.S. Children’s Hospital and Epidermolysis Bullosa Center of Excellence - Seite 2

“At Covalon, our mission has been driven by compassion and a commitment to improving patient care,” said Ron Hebert, SVP Marketing of Covalon. “Healing should never be hindered by setbacks, trauma, or tears caused by dressings. IV Clear is designed to ensure that every step of a patient’s journey is one of comfort and compassion.”

Traditional securement dressings made with acrylic cause substantial injury upon removal. Covalon’s IV Clear contains atraumatic silicone adhesive and its gentle, dual antimicrobial properties make it ideal for use on patients at risk of skin injury.

Covalon’s vascular access infection prevention solutions also help to prevent central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) as part of an effective CLABSI prevention bundle, while ensuring patient comfort and include:

• CovaClear IV – utilizes soft silicone adhesive technology to help protect patients from skin injuries, but does not incorporate antimicrobials, for use with patients who either don't require, or cannot tolerate, antimicrobials.

• IV Clear - the world’s only dual-antimicrobial vascular access dressing that offers complete transparency at and around the insertion site for easy daily assessment. It also utilizes soft silicone adhesive technology to minimize skin injuries and preserve skin barrier functions, and incorporates safe amounts of antimicrobials, without sacrificing efficacy, to protect against chemical irritation.

• VALGuard - an FDA listed, transparent, environmental barrier designed to protect catheter hubs and line connections from external contaminants and gross contamination, including body fluids and other secretions. It incorporates a quick-release pull strip for fast access to infusion hubs and for easy removal.
