Sterile Tape Strips Precut for anchoring hubs, lumens or tubing Versatile and easy to apply Includes preprinted labels for documenting dressing changes 3 Catheter Securement Gel pad conforms around catheter, helping provide catheter securement Unique adhesive properties of gel pad help stabilize the catheter, minimizing catheter movement Unique dressing design with deep notch helps reduce dressing lift caused by the weight of the catheter and tubing Soft Cloth Border Reinforced borders and notches help to reduce edge lift and create a better seal around the catheter Provides comfort and durability Intuitive design is clinician-friendly; ease-of-application minimizes opportunity for error

4 Features - Chlorhexidine Gel Pad Effective Proven to reduce skin flora under the dressing and prevent regrowth on healthy adult subjects for 7 days Broad spectrum, long-lasting, fast antimicrobial activity* against a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and yeast* Gel pad adheres to and conforms around the catheter and allows visualisation Gel pad absorbs moderate amounts of fluid blood, saline and exudate blood does not inactivate CHG The gel pad absorb fluids slowly and retains 8 times its weight in fluid 4
