Vancive Medical Technologies, CareFusion Sign Agreement for Antimicrobial Dressing

CareFusion and Vancive are working together to develop a comprehensive line of dressing products that incorporate the BeneHold CHG antimicrobial Adhesive Technology to meet the specific needs associated with many types of vascular access procedures. CareFusion expects to commercialize these offerings during the companys fiscal third quarter, which begins in April.
The collaboration with Vancive Medical Technologies and the new ChloraShieldTM line of dressings are a perfect fit with our leadership in CHG products, says Jim Leitl, senior vice president and general manager of Medical Specialties at CareFusion.
