The Bd Bard Guardiva Antimicrobial IV Dressing is offered in three distinct size configurations, ensuring compatibility with various IV catheters and percutaneous access sites. All variants are supplied sterile and feature antimicrobial and hemostatic properties.

Available Size Configurations

• 1” / 4mm
• 1” / 1.5mm
• 1” / 7mm

Each configuration is packaged consistently with 10 dressings per box (bx) and 10 boxes per case (cs), resulting in a total of 100 dressings per case.

Yes, the Guardiva™ dressing is designed with hemostatic properties. This means it can aid in controlling surface bleeding from percutaneous catheters and vascular access sites.

The GuardIVa Antimicrobial Hemostatic IV Dressing provides a robust triple-action approach for managing and protecting vascular access sites:

• Antimicrobial Action: It helps create an antimicrobial barrier at the insertion site to minimize the risk of infection.
• Hemostatic Control: The dressing is specifically indicated to help control surface bleeding originating from percutaneous catheters and vascular access sites.
• Exudate Management: As a hydrophilic wound dressing, it is highly effective at absorbing wound exudate while covering and protecting the sensitive catheter site.

The hydrophilic design of the Bd Bard Guardiva dressing is essential for optimizing the environment around the catheter access point by focusing on fluid management and protection. This design provides several critical benefits:

• Effective Exudate Absorption: The dressing is specifically engineered as a hydrophilic wound dressing to effectively absorb wound exudate (drainage) from the site.
• Enhanced Site Protection: By managing moisture levels, it provides reliable coverage and protection for IV catheters and various other percutaneous devices.

This specialized dressing also offers added benefits beyond moisture management, including antimicrobial properties and an indication for the control of surface bleeding (hemostatic function) at the access site.

The Bd Bard GuardIVa Antimicrobial Hemostatic IV Dressings are supplied in cases structured for efficient clinical use:

• Each box contains 10 sterile dressings.
• There are 10 boxes per case.

This results in a total of 100 sterile dressings included in one full case.
