Alternative to Biopatch?

We found the same thing to be true of the Tegaderm whith the CHG patch..it was very difficult to remove...we decided to stay with the Biopatch.....There is one way I know of to get them cheaper.....have them put the biopatch in your dressing kit....we pay only 9.00 for our dressing kit..and it has a TSM dressing...biopatch..steri-strips...small roll of transpore tape tape measure ...CHG wand...one mask..one skin prep pad.....one 2x2..and nitrile sterile gloves..perhaps packaging will be the key for you.......There is also one other product that i have seen that is a patch applied just like a biopatch...but it is Not CHG...I will find the add and post again

We also use Biopatch. I have not heard of anything else. We tried the Tegaderm with Chlorhexadine and had the same problems that you had. I think Biopatch is worth the cost.

There is an excellent alternative to BioPatch.

The Algidex IV Patch from DeRoyal provides similar antimicrobial results. The technology uses Ionic silver based in Alginate that is impregnated onto small polyurethane discs similar to BioPatch.

The antimicrobial properties of silver are well documented.

NO contraindications like BioPatch. Can be used on all age populations.

Best thing is that is half the cost of BioPatch.... $4.00 each.
