Ethicon Biopatch Protective Disk with CHG — Only CRBSI-Cleared Sponge Dressing, 3 Sizes

The only sponge dressing FDA-cleared to reduce catheter-related bloodstream infections — proven in multiple randomized controlled trials. Biopatch Protective Disk with CHG is a hydrophilic polyurethane foam disk impregnated with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) — the only antiseptic recommended by the CDC for catheter site skin antisepsis — that delivers a continuous 360-degree zone of CHG inhibition around the catheter insertion site for up to 7 days. It is the only catheter site dressing with a cleared FDA indication specifically for the reduction of CRBSIs in central venous and arterial catheters, supported by multiple published randomized controlled trials. The foam absorbs up to 8 times its weight in fluid, managing exudate at the insertion site without maceration, while CHG is continuously released through the proprietary polyurethane composite — maintaining active skin antisepsis between dressing changes and protecting patients from bacterial recolonization that begins within hours of standard site preparation.

✔ Only FDA-Cleared Sponge Dressing for CRBSI Reduction — Proven in Multiple RCTs    ✔ 360° CHG Delivery — Full Circumferential Antiseptic Coverage Around Insertion Site    ✔ 7-Day Continuous CHG Release — Maintains Antisepsis Between Dressing Changes    ✔ Absorbs 8x Its Weight — Manages Site Exudate Without Maceration    ✔ CDC-Recommended CHG — Only Antiseptic Recommended for Catheter Skin Antisepsis

Indicated For — Clinical Applications

  • Central venous lines — short-term and long-term, all types
  • PICC lines and midline catheters
  • Peripheral IV catheters — including extended dwell PIVs
  • Arterial catheters
  • Dialysis catheters — hemodialysis and peritoneal
  • Epidural catheters
  • Huber needles at implanted port sites
  • External fixator and orthopedic pins
  • Drains, chest tubes, sheaths, and Cordis catheters
  • VAD drive lines
  • Any vascular or non-vascular percutaneous device site requiring ongoing antiseptic protection

Note: For patients aged 18 years and older. Not recommended for use in neonates or patients with known CHG sensitivity. Ensure complete 360° skin contact around the insertion site for maximum efficacy. Do not peel the printed side from the Biopatch disk during application.


How Biopatch Works — What Makes It Different

Catheter-related bloodstream infections affect an estimated 250,000 patients per year in the US, causing up to 33,000 deaths and approximately $1 billion in healthcare costs annually. The primary source is the patient's own skin microflora — within hours of thorough antiseptic skin preparation, resident bacteria begin recolonizing the catheter insertion site. Standard transparent film dressings provide a physical barrier but no ongoing antimicrobial protection between dressing changes. Biopatch addresses this directly with a continuous chemical antiseptic barrier. The proprietary polyurethane composite foam is engineered — not simply coated — to release CHG continuously throughout the 7-day wear period, maintaining active skin antisepsis at and around the insertion site between every dressing change. The disk's radial slit design allows it to wrap completely around the catheter, and the foam's conformability ensures full 360-degree skin contact so no area around the insertion site is left without CHG coverage — the only catheter dressing designed and proven to achieve this.

  • Only sponge dressing with FDA-cleared indication for CRBSI reduction in central venous and arterial catheters
  • Proven in multiple published randomized controlled trials — the highest level of clinical evidence
  • 360° CHG delivery — full circumferential antiseptic coverage, no gaps around the insertion site
  • Continuous CHG release for 7 days — maintains antisepsis between dressing changes when bacterial recolonization would otherwise occur
  • CHG effective in the presence of organic matter — blood, sera, and proteins do not neutralize activity
  • Absorbs up to 8x its weight in fluid — manages insertion site exudate without foam breakdown or maceration
  • Inhibits both gram-positive and gram-negative organisms — broad antimicrobial and antifungal spectrum
  • One-step removal — disk adheres to overlying transparent film dressing and removes simultaneously, no residue, no saline needed
  • Non-irritating foam — soft, conformable, gentle on fragile catheter site skin
  • Recommended by CDC for skin antisepsis at catheter sites — CHG is the only antiseptic with this CDC endorsement

The 360° Design — Why Full Circumferential Coverage Matters

Most catheter site dressings are flat — they cover the area above and around the site but create gaps where the catheter enters the skin. These gaps are exactly where bacterial migration occurs. Biopatch's radial slit design and conformable foam construction allow the disk to wrap completely and snugly around the catheter at skin level — creating an unbroken ring of CHG activity that covers the full 360-degree circumference of the insertion site. This design feature is unique to Biopatch and is the primary reason it is the only catheter dressing to achieve FDA clearance for CRBSI reduction as a standalone indication.

  • Radial slit allows disk to slide around catheter and close completely — edges approximate for full contact
  • Conformable foam fills contours around the catheter hub — no gaps for bacterial migration
  • Printed side faces up — maintains proper orientation and visual confirmation of correct placement
  • Full 360° skin contact is required for maximum efficacy — the disk design is engineered to achieve this
  • When correctly placed, removal with overlying film dressing is simultaneous and clean

Choosing the Right Size

Item # Disk Size Center Hole French Range Common Uses
4151 ¾" (1.9cm) 1.5mm — 52.5mg CHG <6 Fr Peripheral IVs, Huber needles (ports), arterial lines, extended dwell PIVs, midlines, PICCs, pins
4150 1" (2.5cm) 4.0mm — 92mg CHG 6–12 Fr Central lines, PICC lines — most widely used size for standard CVC management
4152 1" (2.5cm) 7.0mm — 86.8mg CHG 13–20 Fr Dialysis catheters, drains, sheaths, Cordis catheters, VAD drive lines — largest hole for high-gauge devices

Application: Apply Biopatch disk printed side up with the edges of the radial slit approximated and aligned with the catheter tubing. Ensure complete 360° skin contact. Cover with a transparent film dressing — the disk will remove simultaneously with the film at the next dressing change. Secure catheter at least 0.5" (1.25cm) from the insertion site before applying.

Reliable, Comfortable Dumbbells I Actually Use Every Day
Style: 12 Pound, Pair, Style: 12 Pound, Pair
I’ve been using the Amazon Basics Neoprene Dumbbell Hand Weights daily, and they’ve honestly been perfect for my routine. Whether I’m doing a quick morning workout or adding resistance to a longer session, these have held up really well. The neoprene coating makes a big difference—it provides a comfortable, non-slip grip, even during longer workouts or when my hands get a little sweaty. They’re also easy to clean and don’t have that strong rubber smell some weights can have. I really appreciate the hex shape too. They stay put when I set them down (no rolling across the floor), which makes switching between exercises quick and frustration-free. The weight feels evenly distributed and well-balanced, so movements feel controlled and smooth. Overall, these are simple, no-frills dumbbells that just work. If you’re looking for reliable hand weights for everyday use—whether you’re a beginner or just need something dependable for home workouts—these are a great choice.

Great quality and perfect for home workouts!
Style: Rack with 3 Pairs (3, 5, and 8 Pound)
I’m really happy with this dumbbell set. The weights are clearly labeled (3 lb, 5 lb, and 8 lb), which makes it super convenient to switch between exercises. The neoprene coating feels comfortable in hand and provides a good grip, even during longer workouts. The storage stand is a big plus—it keeps everything organized and saves space, which is perfect for a small home gym. The colors are also nice and make it easy to quickly grab the weight you need. Overall, this is a great set for beginners or anyone looking to add light strength training to their routine. Highly recommend!

I’m A PT AND USING THEM IN MY CLINIC. PLS READ HONEST AND THOROUGH REVIEW.
Style: 15 Pound, Pair
I have been a PHYSICAL THERAPIST FOR 30 YEARS and I BOUGHT THESE FOR MY CLINIC. THESE WEIGHTS ARE COVERED IN A GRIPPING MATERIAL, NEOPRENE, MAKING IT COMFORTABLE and EASIER TO USE, ALLOWS YOU TO NOT LOSE YOUR GRIP, and IT IMPROVES THE SAFETY OF THE USER. I WILL BE BUYING THE 12&20 lb sets! THE VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY IS WONDERFUL!! AMAZON BASICS REALLY CAME THROUGH. It DID NOT INCLUDE AN INSTRUCTION GUIDE TO USE WEIGHTS SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. STELLAR FORM IS ALWAYS ESSENTIAL. MY WEIGHTS WENT UP TO 10 POUNDS, SO I DEFINITELY NEEDED ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS for those who can SAFELY TRANSITION . I MAINLY WORK AS A MANUAL THERAPIST …USING ONLY MY HANDS, AND MY BRAIN. TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT ACCORDINGLY. (**ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN TO PT KNOWS THIS KIND OF ONE ON ONE TREATMENT IS UNHEARD OF**) I IMPLEMENTED MYOFASCIAL RELEASE, TRIGGER POINT THERAPY, DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE, AND APPROPRIATE STRETCHING AND EXERCISE . ONCE PATIENTS WERE ABLE, I INITIATED THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE. I WAS GETTING SO MANY REFERRALS THAT I MOVED FROM MY SMALL SPACE AND GOT A LARGER SPACE THAT LOOKS LIKE A TYPICAL PT CLINIC. I STILL EMPLOY ONE ON ONE TREATMENT, NO JUGGLING SEVERAL PATIENTS IN AN HOUR. I HAVE HIRED HELP TO ASSIST PATIENTS WITH EXERCISE AND STRETCHING. I PURCHASED TWO ADDITIONAL SETS ITHE SET IT I DID TO FIRST CHECK THEM OUT. I ADORE THESE AND HAVE SINCE ORDERED OTHER SETS. I LOVE TO WORKOUT AND I NEEDED TO USE THESE WEIGHTS MYSELF!! THERE ARE ALSO PATIENTS OF MINE WHO WILL PROGRESS TO THESE AS WELL. I AM SUPER IMPRESSED WITH THESE WEIGHTS AND CANNOT WAIT TO RECEIVE MY TWO OTHER SETS!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. EVEN IF YOU SWEAT, YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO HOLD ONTO THESE WEIGHTS COMFORTABLY AND SAFELY. SAFETY IS KEY, ALWAYS. I WAS EXTREMELY DELIGHTED THAT THEY ARE SOLD AS A SET BECAUSE MANY ARE SOLD SEPARATELY. THEY FIT PROPERLY ON A UNIVERSAL WEIGHT STAND, SO THEY ARE VERY EASY TO STORE. I CANT WAIT TO GET MY OTHER SETS! IT IS REALLY SAFE AND COMFORTABLE TO USE THESE WEIGHTS. THEY DID NOT GIVE OFF AN ODD ODOR, which is A HUGE PLUS because SOME OTHER BRANDS SMELL HEAVILY OF PLASTIC OR A CHEMICAL TYPE ODOR. THERE WAS NO ODOR AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE PLUS. I AM COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT THESE WEIGHTS WILL LAST A LONG TIME BECAUSE OF HOW WELL THEY ARE MADE. YOU CANNOT BEAT THE PRICE EITHER!! THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY APPROPRIATE FOR PROFESSIONAL USE, AND, THEY ARE MEANT FOR PERSONAL USE AS WELL. SOMETIMES YOU JUST CANNOT GET TO THE GYM SO THIS IS WHERE THEY ARE KEY. HAND WEIGHTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO EXERCISE EACH MUSCLE OF THE TORSO AND ARMS. THERE ARE SOME EXCELLENT WEIGHT CHARTS OUT THERE TO SHOW YOU HOW TO DO THAT. IF YOU ARE GOING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY, THEN YOUR THERAPIST CAN INSTRUCT YOU AND KEEP YOU IN GOOD FORM. YOU COULD POSSIBLY HURT YOURSELF IF YOU WORKOUT INCORRECTLY. AS FAR AS THE LOWER EXTREMITIES, YOU CAN DO GROSS MOTOR EXERCISES BY HOLDING THESE WEIGHTS TO GET YOUR LEG MUSCLES BY DOING SQUATS, WALKING LUNGES, TOE RAISES, AND MORE. I DONT BELIEVE THAT MANY PEOPLE REALIZE JUST HOW MUCH YOU CAN DO FULL BODY EXERCISES WITH JUST TWO HAND WEIGHTS. IN CONCLUSION , THESE ARE EXCELLENT WEIGHTS THAT I WOULD RECOMMEND TO MY PATIENTS OR FRIENDS. THIS IS A HIGH QUALITY PRODUCT THAT WONT BREAK YOUR PIGGY BANK. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VERY HIGHLY!. BUY WITHOUT RESERVATION!! A+++

Perfect size and weight with compact size
Style: Rack with 3 Pairs (3, 5, and 8 Pound)
I purchased the Amazon Basics Neoprene Dumbbell Hand Weights specifically for Pilates, and they’ve been a great addition to my routine. The size and weight are perfect for controlled movements, helping with muscle toning without feeling too bulky or awkward. The neoprene coating gives them a comfortable, non-slip grip, which is especially important during longer sessions or when your hands get a little sweaty. They feel secure and easy to hold through a full workout. I also like the shape—they don’t roll around on the floor, which makes transitions between exercises smoother and less frustrating. They’re compact enough to store easily but still feel durable and well-made. Overall, these are a simple, affordable, and effective option for Pilates or light strength training. I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking to add a little resistance to their workouts without overcomplicating things.
