Overview
BIOPATCH Protective Disk with CHG is a hydrophilic polyurethane absorptive foam impregnated with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG), an antiseptic agent with broad-spectrum antimicrobial and antifungal activity. The foam absorbs up to eight times its own weight in fluid, and the CHG incorporated into the dressing inhibits bacterial growth under the dressing. The dressing is designed to deliver CHG a full 360 degrees around the catheter insertion site.
It is used with central venous and arterial catheters. A polyurethane composite is designed to release CHG continuously for up to 7 days to maintain skin antisepsis. Removal is a simple, one-step process with no saline or alcohol swabs needed. Product codes are 4150, 4151 and 4152.
