"Our innovative offering of silicone-based vascular access solutions weave together safety and efficacy with compassion. Preventing skin injury and the need for cumbersome acrylic dressing removals is no longer a hope, but a reality, and is one step closer to patient care that's as empathetic as it is effective".

Covalon's patented vascular access products include:

• VALGuard® - a 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 incorporates safe amounts of antimicrobials, without sacrificing efficacy, to protect against chemical irritation.

• 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 do not require or cannot tolerate antimicrobials.
