3M Tegaderm CHG IV Securement Dressing
An antimicrobial IV securement dressing with chlorhexidine gluconate in the adhesive, used to secure and monitor peripheral IV catheter sites.
V. Advanced Securement Dressing is a peripheral IV dressing that combines catheter securement with an antimicrobial adhesive containing chlorhexidine gluconate, known as CHG. It is used by nurses and clinical staff to secure peripheral intravenous lines while helping reduce the risk of catheter related infection at the insertion site.
The dressing's integrated design allows clinicians to maintain clear visibility of the IV site for ongoing assessment, while the CHG formulated adhesive works continuously at the skin insertion point for as long as the dressing remains in place. This combination of securement, antimicrobial protection and site visibility makes the dressing suitable for use across general wards, intensive care units and any setting where peripheral IV access needs close monitoring over its dwell time.
Hospitals with an active infection prevention programme frequently include CHG dressings like this one in their standard IV care protocols, given the well documented role that catheter site care plays in reducing bloodstream infection rates associated with vascular access devices.
