Benefits Of BioSeal CVC
The Difference is the Seal That Allows
“Nothing In, Nothing Out”

Wet or loose catheter dressings caused by
oozing, bleeding or diaphoresis provide an
optimal environment for microbial growth.  
That is why the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines for the
Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections
include recommendations to:

  • Replace catheter-site dressing if the dressing becomes damp, loosened,    
    or visibly soiled; therefore, keep catheter site dry and intact.

  • Replace dressings used on short-term CVC sites every 2 days for gauze
    dressings and every 7 days for transparent dressing.
BioSeal CVC is non-systemic and passed all
FDA-required biocompatibility testing.

How Does the Seal Help Prevent Infection?
BioSeal CVC creates a microbial barrier that:
  • Completely seals the insertion site
  • Keeps the site dry and intact
  • Eliminates the 24/48 hour dressing change
  • Eliminates the need for unplanned dressing changes due to soiled
        gauze or wet sponge dressing
Fewer dressing changes mean less exposure to colonizing microb (decreased
infection risk), reduced nursing time and cost savings.  That is why leading
hospitals include BioSeal CVC Powder in their protocol for every catheter
insertion.
How Do You Keep Access Sites Dry and Intact?
Seal them with BioSeal CVC Powder.  BioSeal CVC is a topical powder that
forms an occlusive seal and microbial barrier around catheters or over a
wound to stop the flow of exudate and/or blood and protect the site.  
Made of a hydrophilic polymer and potassium ferrate,  BioSeal CVC Powder
does not depend on the body’s natural clotting mechanism to form a seal.  
It is proven effective for patients on anticoagulant therapy and those prone
to bleeding.
