BioPatch Antimicrobial Dressing Disks are designed to prevent infection in patients with central venous and arterial catheters. Each antimicrobial disk is impregnated with CHG (chlorhexidine gluconate), an antiseptic agent that will keep your patient protected for up to 7 days. BioPatch disks redue bacterial levels on patients, eliminate the need for frequent dressing changes, and have the unique ability to absorb 8 times their own weight in fluids. 10/box
The only protective disk proven to reduce the incidence of CRBSIs, local infection sand skin colonization in patients with central venous and arterial catheters
Catheter-related bloodstream infections (CRBSIs) are a challenge for any hospital. Not only do they increase patient morbidity and mortality rates from 12 to 25%, but they also increase hospital stays, and cost your facility valuable dollars. BioPatch technology works to eliminate that. These antimicrobial catheter dressings provide week-long protection to each patient, thereby saving you in time and money used in frequent dressing changes and patient care. Each disk’s time-released solution is activated by the presence of moisture on the skin, and has been proven effective in the presence of organic matter including blood, sera and proteins. Ensure your patients' safety from infection with BioPatch Antimicrobial catheter dressings.
