Covalon to Participate in the 12th International Pediatric Intestinal Failure and Rehabilitation Symposium in Toronto

Covalon's compassionate care technology solutions for infection prevention include the following:

• 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® - an antimicrobial vascular access dressing that offers complete transparency at and around the insertion site for easy daily assessment. It uses a soft silicone adhesive to preserve the skin's barrier function and minimize skin injuries and incorporates safe amounts of antimicrobials, without sacrificing efficacy, to protect against chemical irritation.
• SurgiClear® - is the world's only dual-antimicrobial clear postoperative dressing that provides full visibility, allowing for visual surgical site inspection and thus eliminating the need for early dressing removal.
• CovaClear® IV - uses the same trusted silicone adhesive technology to protect patients from skin injuries and promote healing in patients who either don't require, or cannot tolerate, antimicrobials.
