How to Use of 3M 1664 Tegaderm CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate Gel Pad
3M Tegaderm CHG Chlorhexidine Gluconate Gel Pad can be used for a variety of vascular applications. Follow the below instructions for application and removal:
Prepare
- Prepare site according to facility protocol. Ensure site is completely dry. Remove liner 1, then liner 2 as shown above.
Press
- Place CHG gel pad around the device, covering the catheter insertion site and ensuring that the device rests upon the slit of the gel pad. Do not stretch during application. Apply firm pressure to enhance adhesion.
Secure
- According to facility protocol, secure the catheter with the appropriate transparent, semi-permeable membrane dressing (e.g. 3M Tegaderm HP, 3M Tegaderm Diamond, 3M Tegaderm I.V. Port, 3M Tegaderm I.V. Advanced Securement).
Monitor
Inspect the CHG gel pad daily and change as necessary, in accordance with facility protocol. Change the dressing:
- At least every 7 days, or according to facility protocol
- If the gel pad remains displaced when pressed with a gloved finger
- If the gel pad is saturated, when the dressing becomes loose or soiled, or in cases where there is swelling, visible drainage, or lost visibility
- If active bleeding or blood is present outside the gel pad
Gel pad is not intended to absorb large quantities of blood or drainage. Cover and protect gel pad during patient bathing or showering.
Removal
When the CHG gel pad is exposed, grasp a corner of the gel pad and dressing film together between thumb and forefinger. Apply a few drops of saline or alcohol if needed to facilitate removal of gel pad. CHG gel pad may remain attached to the transparent dressing during removal. Stretch release of the film may be required to help release film dressing from CHG gel pad.
Other Applications
- Huber needle application
- Double stick scenario application
- Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) application
Note: Secure with the appropriate cover dressing, per facility protocol.
