Dressing Helps Eliminate Catheter-Related Infection

A study published in the March 25, 2009 edition of the Journal of the American Medical Association showed use of a chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) impregnated sponge in intravascular catheter dressings reduced rates of catheter-related infections (Read study abstract here.)

The Biopatch* protective disk with CHG is designed to continually release CHG allowing for unsoiled adherent dressing changes to increase from every three days to every seven days.

The Biopatch is available in Navilyst Medical PICC Convenience Kits. To learn more, click here.
