Specifications for Tegaderm 1657R CHG

Tegaderm 1657R CHG is a versatile professional-use plaster designed to secure catheters and intravenous needles, reducing needle movement during the administration of nutritional solutions or medications. This helps minimize the risk of injuries and discomfort.

Unsecured needle movement can lead to bleeding and blood pooling around the needle site, causing pain, discomfort, and other complications.

The plaster provides immediate protection against microbes and infections. The underside of the plaster contains chlorhexidine, an antibacterial agent that helps keep the vein entry clean and intact.

The transparent window above the needle site allows for continuous monitoring of the vein entry, enabling direct intervention in case of bleeding or signs of infection before the condition worsens.

Tegaderm 1657R CHG can be used for several consecutive days unless complications or reasons necessitate changing the plaster.

The breathable materials of the plaster allow moisture to escape, keeping the area dry and reducing the likelihood of maceration.
