Product details
Integrated “All-in-One” Design
Now you can give your patients and added level of comfort and protection, while simplifying your daily vascular access routine.
The 3M™ Tegaderm™ CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate I.V. Securement Dressing integrates a chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) gel pad and is the only transparent dressing cleared and proven to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) and vascular catheter colonisation. It provides immediate and continuous antimicrobial protection for up to 7 days with a highly breathable transparent film that offers a waterproof, sterile barrier against external contaminants*. Both the film and the CHG gel pad remain clear for continuous site observation.
A reinforced stabilisation border provides strength needed to stabilise the catheter. A conforming keyhole notch allows catheter lumens to fit better and stay in place, and the conforming edge border uses technology designed to reduce edge-lift. A securement tape strip with a notch promotes consistent application and enhances stabilisation, and a documentation tape strip pre-printed for documenting dressing changes can provide additional securement.
*In vitro testing shows that the film provides a barrier against viruses 27 nm in diameter or larger while the dressing remains intact without leakage.
