Medline AEG014S Aegis CHG Impregnated Foam Disc - 1 inch, with 4 mm hole, Box of 10 discs

Product Description

Aegis CHG Impregnated Foam Discs help reduce risk factors associated with central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI).

• Evidence-based practice standards recommend covering central line catheters with chlorhexidine-containing sponge dressings to help prevent central-line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI)
• Hydrophilic foam disc is impregnated with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)
• Absorbs exudate and releases CHG for up to seven days; this helps shield the catheter insertion site, while the CHG inhibits or kills bacteria on the dressing's surface
• Radial slit allows easy placement around the catheter or drain site
• 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
• Single use only
• Sterile
