ICU Medical is a leading brand that offers innovative products and solutions in the medical field. One of their notable products is the ClearGuard™ HD antimicrobial barrier cap, which is the first and only device available in the US that kills infection-causing bacteria inside a hemodialysis catheter hub. This cap is highly effective and simple to use, featuring a rod coated with chlorhexidine, a well-known antimicrobial agent.

When inserted into a liquid-filled catheter, the chlorhexidine elutes from the rod, effectively killing microorganisms both inside and outside the catheter hub. Clinical trials have proven the efficacy of ClearGuard HD caps in reducing central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) in hemodialysis catheter patients. In fact, these caps have been named in Newsweek's list of Best Infection Prevention Products for two consecutive years.

With a wide customer base that includes over 400 hospitals and 3,700 outpatient dialysis clinics, ClearGuard HD caps are setting a new standard of care in infection prevention
