Bravida Medical today announced the Australian launch of its complete Silverlon® IV/Catheter Dressing portfolio, making the full range of Silverlon® IV/Catheter Dressings available to healthcare professionals throughout Australia. The launch represents another milestone in the company’s international growth strategy and expands access to its antimicrobial dressing technologies for vascular access applications.
The Australian introduction builds on Bravida Medical’s continued expansion of its securement and antimicrobial dressing portfolio, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to increasing global access to its infection-prevention technologies.
