APIC, the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, is the leading professional association for infection preventionists (IPs), with more than 15,000 members. The conference brings together more than 3,000 nurses, physicians, public health professionals, academia, epidemiologists, microbiologists, medical technologists, and industry to advance knowledge sharing, collaboration, and scientific innovation in the area of infection prevention and control.

“Providing patients thorough protection against infections should not come at the compromise of providing gentle, compassionate care,” said Ron Hebert, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Covalon. “Healing shouldn’t hurt, which is why at Covalon we are laser focused on developing medical technology that gives patients their best defense against infection, without causing unnecessary pain, trauma, or tears.”

Covalon representatives will be available to meet with participants on site. To make an appointment, please contact Ron Hebert, SVP Marketing, at [e-mail].

Covalon’s suite of infection prevention solutions include:

• 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.
• 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.
