Tegaderm CHG I.V. Port Dressing for Implanted Ports
An antimicrobial CHG dressing designed for patients with implanted venous ports, supporting infection prevention for oncology and hematology patients. It is a standard item in dental and medical practice.
V. Port Dressing is an antimicrobial dressing designed specifically for patients who have an implanted venous port, a device commonly used for patients who need repeated intravenous access over an extended treatment period, including many oncology and hematology patients undergoing chemotherapy or other long term infusion therapy.
The dressing incorporates chlorhexidine gluconate to provide ongoing antimicrobial protection around the port access site, which is important given how frequently these ports are accessed and the associated infection risk with repeated needle insertions into the same site. As a transparent film based dressing, it also allows clinical staff to visually check the port access area for signs of irritation, redness or infection between dressing changes.
Because implanted ports are often used over months or years of treatment, having a dressing designed with this specific antimicrobial focus supports consistent infection prevention practice for this patient group. Oncology and infusion nurses use this dressing in hospital and infusion clinic settings whenever a patient's implanted port is accessed.
