Description
Medline Aegis CHG-Impregnated Foam Disc Dressing
- Aegis chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)-impregnated foam discs help reduce risk factors associated with CLABSI; absorbs exudate and releases CHG for up to seven days which helps shield the catheter insertion site while the CHG inhibits or kills bacteria on the dressing's surface.
- Evidence-based practice standards recommend covering central line catheters with chlorhexidine-containing sponge dressings to help prevent central-line-associated bloodstream infections.
- Radial slit allows easy placement around the catheter or drain site to provide a 360° zone of inhibition around the insertion site for microorganisms, including E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, S. Epidermis, VRE and C. albicans.
- Two-layer foam absorbs up to eight times its weight in fluid with no distortion.
- Indications for use: Absorbs exudate and covers the peri-wound area of a wound caused by vascular and non-vascular percutaneous medical devices.
- Contraindications: CHG-impregnated foam dressings should not be used on premature infants or patients with a known sensitivity to chlorhexidine gluconate.
- Convenient peel pouch.
- Size and Packaging: 10 per box, 4 boxes per case = 40 foam dressings per case.
