AquaGuard is an impermeable moisture barrier used to protect primary dressings, surgical incision sites, intravenous catheters, dialysis shunts, stomas and wound protection during a shower. It is not designed for use in the bath, hot tubs or for swimming.

Be sure to select the correct size of AquaGuard for the wound or device type. The listed product sizes listed product sizes listed product sizes represent the outside dimensions. When ordering, select the AquaGuard size that is larger than the actual area needing coverage. For areas needing range of motion, such as knees and elbows, select the AquaGuard product that is one size larger than the area needing coverage.

1. Select an AquaGuard bandage that is large enough to adhere to SKIN ONLY (not to wound, device or primary dressing).
2. Clean and dry area to be covered. Remove one sheet from the plastic packaging. Bend the adhesive corners back to form "tabs".
3. Remove the adhesive backing from the top or bottom of AquaGuard and apply to site. Press down firmly to adhere to skin.
4. Remove adhesive backing from left and right sides of AquaGuard, making sure that the exposed adhesive does not touch your dressing or device. Press down firmly to adhere to skin. Pinch together excess material to form a pleat and fold to side to seal the material.
5. Remove adhesive backing from the last side of AquaGuard and press down firmly, completing the coverage of your primary dressing or site. Pinch together excess material to form a pleat and fold to side to seal the material.
6. Repeat pressure on all sides of adhesive as a final securing step.
7. To remove, start at either the top left or right corner and gently peel AquaGuard down in the same direction as hair growth, being careful not to disturb the primary dressing or device.

AquaGuard is not a replacement for primary dressings. Most primary dressings are designed to keep IV and surgical sites clean and free of infection. They are not waterproof and therefore may allow the IV or surgical site to get wet when showering. AquaGuard is a supplementary wound or dressing protection product. AquaGuard protects the primary dressing and IV or surgical site by keeping them dry during a shower.

Handmade moisture barriers like plastic wrap and garbage bags commonly have a 30% or higher failure rate, which can lead to infection and expensive dressing changes. AquaGuard’s unique design keeps IV and surgical sites dry when showering. It is easy to apply and is clinically proven to be reliable. It also is disposable, so it eliminates contamination and infection risk from reusable coverings.

AquaGuard does not contain natural latex or latex proteins.

No, AquaGuard is DEHP free.

The AquaGuard adhesive is designed to be gentle on delicate skin. This is especially important when used on areas with thin skin, or with pediatric or geriatric patients.

AquaGuard is the only moisture barrier product manufactured in the USA at an FDA registered facility. AquaGuard manufacturing is certified to ISO 13485:2003 standards.

AquaGuard believes it is important to maintain the same quality for patients at home that is provided in hospitals. Clinicians in hospitals trust the quality of FDA approved products for their patients.

AquaGuard is available in affordable packages of 7 individual sheets, as well as case quantities for larger volume users.

AquaGuard is designed to keep IV and surgical site dressings dry during a shower. Dressings that become wet or damp during a shower should be changed immediately to reduce the risk of infection. Most patients find that the cost associated with changing a dressing everytime they shower is more expensive than the cost of AquaGuard. Of course, peace of mind and the convenience of not changing your dressing are important as well.
