Tegaderm CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate I.V. Securement Dressing is the only transparent dressing indicated and proven to reduce CRBSI and vascular catheter colonization that align with evidence-based guidelines and practice standards. The 3M Tegaderm CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate I.V. Securement Dressing is an antimicrobial dressing that combines infection reduction, site visibility, consistent application and catheter securement in one integrated, easy-to-use product. It is the only transparent CHG dressing proven to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSI) and vascular catheter colonization that aligns with evidence-based guidelines and practice standards.
The 3M Tegaderm CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate I.V. Securement Dressing combines the most critical elements of IV site care into a single, easy-to-use product, providing a convenient and reliable solution for the securement and monitoring of catheters and other IV devices. These transparent dressings offer full site visibility, antimicrobial (CHG) protection, catheter securement and consistent application.
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 CRBSIs and vascular catheter colonization. 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 stabilization border provides strength needed to stabilize 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 stabilization, and a documentation tape strip pre-printed for documenting dressing changes provides additional securement.
