ReliaTect® Post-Op Dressing with CHG

ReliaTect is a sterile, post-operative dressing consisting of a polyurethane film, coated with a transparent chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) acrylic adhesive.

Use of ReliaTect offers the following benefits:

• 99% (4-log) reduction of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria and yeast for up to 7 days
• Visualization of the incision for monitoring without dressing removal
• Waterproof
• Absorption of light-to-moderate exudate, blood, and perspiration
• Easy application
• Thin profile conforms to body contours
• Non-irritating, non-cytotoxic, and non-sensitizing

Protect incisions from contamination in five easy steps:

Remove: Remove the dressing from the pouch using aseptic technique.

Peel: Starting at the extended white tab, peel the bottom liner from the back of the dressing until the liner reaches a fold, exposing part of the adhesive surface.

Hold: Hold the dressing by the extended white tab with one hand, and use the other hand to hold the partially removed liner back along with the other half of the dressing to keep the exposed adhesive area clear for visibility during placement.

Apply: Apply the exposed adhesive area over the site and smooth dressing into place.

Break: Break off the extended white tab at the dotted line and discard it. Document the dressing change in accordance with facility protocols. The date strip on the dressing may be utilized for this purpose.

For best results, use Detachol Adhesive Remover for removal.
