Description
- Delivers broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against the microorganisms most commonly associated with causing CRBSI (1)
- A recently published large randomized trial demonstrated that chlorhexidine-gel impregnated dressings decreased the catheter-related infection rate in ICU patients with intravascular catheters (2)
- Transparent gel pad and dressing allow continuous visualisation of the insertion site
- Integrated design of dressing and CHG gel pad reduces application steps and minimises potential for application error
- As easy to use as standard Tegaderm dressings
- The ability of the gel pad to absorb fluids reduces the frequency of dressing changes (3)
- Sterile, waterproof, breathable film that is impermeable to liquids, bacteria, and viruses*
- A framed delivery system allows for one-handed application and prevents the dressing from sticking to itself
- Notched and reinforced with a cloth border to provide a better seal and reduce edge lift around catheters and other devices
- Sterile tape strips are provided to assist with improved catheter securement
- Date labels to assist clinicians with documentation of the date of insertion
