An experimental evaluation of a chlorhexidine medicated tulle gras dressing

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1982
Abstract A chlorhexidine medicated tulle gras dressing was evaluated using in vitro tests and an animal burn wound model. Although the dressing gave small zones of inhibition in the in vitro test, it was shown to be effective in preventing the bacterial colonization of experimental burn wounds.

‘Tegaderm’ dressings prevent recolonization of chlorhexidine-treated skin

Journal of Hospital Infection, 1987
'Tegaderm', a semi-permeable, self-adhesive dressing made of polyurethane film, applied to intact upper arm skin in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients reduced the aerobic skin flora compared to adjacent exposed skin sites. We also applied 'Tegaderm' to skin disinfected with chlorhexidine; the aerobic skin flora remained unchanged at a low level for 5 ...

Use of a Chlorhexidine Dressing to Reduce Microbial Colonization of Epidural Catheters

Anesthesiology, 1990
We performed a prospective randomized controlled trial to assess the efficacy of a chlorhexidine dressing in reducing the microbial flora at the insertion site of epidural catheters. These catheters were used for acute pain management and were dressed either by a standardized method or with a CHX/urethane sponge composite. Microbial colonization of the

Are chlorhexidine-containing dressings safe for use with ventricular drainages?

Infection, 2014
The purpose of this report was to assess the safety and application of chlorhexidine (CHG)-containing dressings--shown to reduce central line infection rates markedly--for external ventricular drainages (EVDs) and lumbar drainages (LDs). Cerebrospinal fluid samples of patients receiving standard dressings and CHG-containing dressing (ten each) were ...

The use of chlorhexidine mouthwash compared with a periodontal dressing following the gingivectomy procedure

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, 1976
Abstract The clinical results achieved were compared when a group of 21 patients requiring gingivectomies in comparable bilateral segments received a dressing or a chlorhexidine mouthwash during the first post‐operative week. Initial pre‐operative conditions were comparable.
