MISSISSAUGA, ON, March 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Covalon Technologies Ltd. (the "Company" or "Covalon") (TSXV: COV) (OTCQX: CVALF), an advanced medical technologies company, today announced its participation in the Synova NICU Leadership Forum from Sunday, March 19 to Thursday, March 23, 2023 in Tuscon, Arizona. Clinicians looking for more compassionate care solutions that help prevent infection, improve patient outcomes, and reduce stress on care providers should visit Covalon at booth 106 to learn more about Covalon's unique position to offer "apology-free", tender, and atraumatic IV dressing changes, as well catheter hub and line connection protection, for NICU and pediatric patients.

"Here at Covalon, courageous leadership means prioritizing compassion, even amongst competing priorities and limited resources, so that all patients, but especially the youngest, experience the care and comfort they deserve," said Ron Hebert, Senior Vice President, Global Marketing, Covalon. "We're excited to be attending Synova NICU Leadership Forum for the first time so that clinicians and leaders can see, feel, and experience how our compassionate care solutions can help even the tiniest patients."

At this year's Synova NICU Leadership Forum, Covalon is taking up the conference theme "Fearless: Choosing to Lead with Courage," by asking conference attendees to experience the difference compassion driven innovation can make in a vascular access dressing and line guard for NICU patients.

At booth 106, Covalon will be demonstrating how critical the intersection between medical devices, the caregiver-patient relationship, and compassion is to driving positive patient outcomes. Inspired by lived experience and created to protect, heal, and comfort pediatric patients, Covalon's solutions are redefining the standards of care that come with vascular access technology designed for children. Today, 6 of the top 10 children's hospitals, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report, have adopted Covalon's uniquely designed compassionate care solutions.

CovaClear® IV – utilizes soft silicone adhesive technology to help protect patients from skin injuries, but does not incorporate antimicrobials, for use with patients who either don't require or cannot tolerate antimicrobials.
VALGuard® - an FDA listed, transparent, environmental barrier designed to protect catheter hubs and line connections from external contaminants and gross contamination, including body fluids and other secretions. It incorporates a quick-release pull strip for fast access to infusion hubs and for easy removal.
IV Clear® - the world's only dual-antimicrobial vascular access dressing that offers complete transparency at and around the insertion site for easy daily assessment. It also utilizes soft silicone adhesive technology to minimize skin injuries and preserve skin barrier functions, and incorporates safe amounts of antimicrobials, without sacrificing efficacy, to protect against chemical irritation.
SurgiClear® - the world's only dual-antimicrobial clear postoperative dressing that provides full surgical site visibility, allowing for visual site inspection and thus eliminating the need for early and multiple dressing removals.
