# BD GuardIVa Antimicrobial Hemostatic IV Dressing, 1" / 4mm, Sterile

The BD GuardIVa Antimicrobial Hemostatic IV Dressing is a sterile, 1" / 4mm hydrophilic wound dressing designed for superior catheter site protection and management. Available for purchase as individual units or in convenient boxes of 10, this advanced dressing combines antimicrobial protection with hemostatic control in a single solution.

## Advanced Wound Care Technology

Engineered specifically for IV catheter sites, the GuardIVa dressing features a hydrophilic design that effectively absorbs exudate while covering and protecting vulnerable insertion points. This dual-action dressing addresses two critical needs in catheter site management simultaneously.

### Antimicrobial Protection with CHG

Contains chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), a proven antiseptic agent that provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal activity. This helps reduce the risk of infection at catheter sites, offering continuous protection throughout wear time.

### Hemostatic Control

Features the proprietary m-doc compound that actively promotes hemostasis to control surface bleeding at catheter insertion sites. This helps minimize blood exposure and supports faster stabilization of the insertion point.

#### Key Applications
*   IV catheter site protection and management
*   Central line dressing changes
*   Peripheral IV site coverage
*   Post-procedural wound care

The BD GuardIVa dressing represents a comprehensive approach to catheter site care, combining infection prevention with bleeding control in one reliable, sterile product. Ideal for healthcare settings where both antimicrobial protection and hemostatic management are priorities.
