3M Tegaderm CHG Dressing 1657R – Antimicrobial IV Securement with 2% CHG | 8.5x11.5cm

3M Tegaderm CHG IV Securement Dressing (1657R) is an advanced transparent catheter dressing designed to provide secure fixation and continuous antimicrobial protection for vascular access sites. The dressing incorporates a 2% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) gel pad, which helps reduce skin flora around the catheter insertion site and minimizes the risk of catheter-related infections.

The transparent film allows healthcare professionals to easily monitor the insertion site without removing the dressing, while the securement system helps stabilize catheters and reduce accidental movement. The breathable waterproof film protects against external contaminants while maintaining patient comfort.

Widely used in hospitals, ICUs, dialysis centers, oncology units, and home healthcare settings, the 3M Tegaderm CHG 1657R dressing combines catheter stabilization and antimicrobial protection in a single easy-to-use dressing.
