About us
FIAR, AN H2-ITEX PRODUCT
H2-ITEX'S VISION
Our vision is to become a leader and a benchmark both in North America and internationally, offering the best solutions adapted to needs from patients who require intravenous treatment requiring use of catheter venous central (CVC) or other specific dressings.
H2-ITEX'S MISSION
Our mission is to offer protection, comfort and well-being to patients receiving treatments in oncology, dialysis, antibiotic therapy, food or others, thanks to the innovation of a waterproof and antibacterial protective sleeve as well as the development of new products adapted according to personalized conditions offering them protection, well-being and comfort.
We wish to contribute to reducing the healing time thanks to a better control of the sources of possible infections, particularly during personal hygiene care at home. The hospital environment being a source of bacteria, the patient will be all the more reassured to return to his home with increased protection for his CVC.
FIRST OBJECTIVE : DESIGN PRODUCTS TO TAKE A SHOWER
Concept H2- ITEX inc, initially focused on the innovation of a protective sleeve for a venous catheter. The main objective was to allow patients living with CVC to take a shower in safety and with peace of mind. This involves the great challenge of sealing. Here is our line of products for the shower only. (Ps: these products are only suitable for bathing or swimming).
THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES: THE COMFORT PRODUCTS
The evolution over time has made it possible to grasp the whole problem of people who live with a CVC or bandages and whose need for a simple shower is a major obstacle.
However, a need for daily comfort and protection against any snagging of the HVAC nozzles, made us think and conduct our research towards our Comfort sleeve.
Our efforts are focused on the well-being, comfort, autonomy and human dignity of sick people.

Why want FIAR ?
The call to empathy
The idea for the project came about when I visited a close acquaintance in the hospital and realized that she could no longer shower like everyone else because of her venous catheter (Picc-line) installed in her arm, for an indefinite period of time. So, the following question came to mind : "How can I make a difference in her life and the lives of all the people like her, and make their lives easier?" So, my question was one of Human Dignity, Wellness and Peace of Mind.
Our brand logo is a reminder of how we embrace the cause and wrap the member well, bringing dignity and well-being.
Our empathy has also developed for people who have indefinite bandages on their hands (mittens), legs (leggings) or feet (boots). Thus, we make their life easier and bring them a bit of human dignity, autonomy and well-being through our waterproof products and the return to the shower.
Your Health and Well-being are important to us.
WATER BEADS AND DOES NOT PENETRATE
If you follow the instructions carefully to close and seal the top of the sleeve, the water beads and does not penetrate. The fabric used is a soft polyester that is laminated with a thin waterproof layer. When you wrap the band around the arm at the top of the sleeve, the most important thing is to cover both the fabric and the skin approximately 50% (on the top of the sleeve) -50% (on the skin of the arm) of the width of your band. Maintain tension when wrapping to ensure a good seal. Make two (2) turns and attach to the adhesive band.
