3M™ Tegaderm™ CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate I.V. Port Dressing contains an antimicrobial (CHG) gel pad plus an IV port dressing. TegadermTM CHG is intended to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) in patients with central venous or arterial catheters. The transparent CHG gel pad provides site visibility and immediate and continuous antimicrobial protection against microorganisms associated with CRBSIs for up to 7 days without additional moisture required to activate. The adhesive border provides gentle, yet strong adherence to skin, and the pre-cut slit in the gel pad is designed to conform around a variety of percutaneous devices. The gel pad remains clear and protects even in the presence of blood, saline and exudates.
The IV port dressing has an adhesive-free window to reduce the risk of the dressing sticking to the needle during removal. The conforming edge border with pattern-coated adhesive is designed to reduce edge lift and support longer wear time. A securement tape strip with a notch seals the dressing border and anchors tubing, and a documentation tape strip preprinted for documenting dressing changes provides additional securement.
The CHG gel pad and cover dressing are also sold separately.
*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.
