I.V. Specialty Dressing VALGuard® Film 4 X 4-1/2 Inch Sterile, 50/BX

VALGuard film I.V. specialty dressing is a sterile transparent line guard made to help protect IV line connections and hubs from external contaminants. It fits clinical settings that need visibility at the access site, including PICC lines, tunneled CVLs, implantable ports, dialysis access, and other medical line setups. Quick-release removal supports fast access in urgent situations, and the transparent film helps staff monitor hubs and connections for leaks or misconnections.
