Specifications for 3M Tegaderm CHG Securement Dressing 1660R

The 3M Tegaderm CHG Securement Dressing 1660R is designed for professional use to secure intravenous needles and reduce needle movement during the administration of nutritional solutions or medications. This helps in minimizing the risk of injuries and discomfort.

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

The dressing provides immediate protection against microbes and infections. The lower lining of the dressing contains chlorhexidine, an antibacterial agent that helps keep the intravenous entry point clean and intact.

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

The 3M Tegaderm CHG Securement Dressing 1660R can be used for several consecutive days unless complications arise or there are reasons to replace the dressing.

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