IV Clear? is an antimicrobial clear silicone vascular access dressing from Covalon Technologies Ltd. that combines silver and chlorhexidine to provide broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity for 7 days. It is the only dressing in the market to meet current U.S. FDA standards for the antimicrobial claim “greater than 4 log reduction”. The silicone adhesive provides greater patient comfort, does not damage the skin, and may reduce keloid scarring. IV Clear is intended to cover and protect insertion sites and secure intravenous devices such as IV catheters, central venous lines, PICCs, hemodialysis catheters, other intravascular catheters, and percutaneous devices.
