{"title":"COMPAT","description":"\u003ch1\u003eCHG-Compatible Hand Hygiene \u0026amp; Skin Protection\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery product in this collection shares one specification that matters more than the marketing name on the label: \u003cstrong\u003eCHG compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e. In settings where chlorhexidine gluconate is part of the infection-prevention protocol — surgical prep, central line care, pre-procedure skin antisepsis — the wrong lotion or barrier cream can neutralize CHG's residual activity. That's why 3M engineered this line of Avagard and Cavilon products to work alongside chlorhexidine rather than against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor hand antisepsis, \u003cstrong\u003e3M Avagard D Hand Sanitizer Gel\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers 61% ethyl alcohol with built-in moisturizers, available in a 16 oz. pump bottle for high-traffic stations or a compact 3 oz. bottle (the Avagard Instant Hand Antiseptic, latex-free) for point-of-care and personal carry. Both are formulated so frequent use won't dry out staff hands the way straight alcohol does — an important consideration when hand hygiene compliance depends on comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin protection is handled by the \u003cstrong\u003e3M Cavilon Durable Barrier Cream\u003c\/strong\u003e, which forms a long-lasting moisture barrier over intact or at-risk skin. It comes in 2-gram single-use packets for controlled dispensing, a 1 oz. tube, and a 3.25 oz. tube for facilities managing incontinence-associated dermatitis or protecting skin under adhesives and around stomas. The unscented \u003cstrong\u003eCavilon Hand Lotion\u003c\/strong\u003e rounds out the line as a hypoallergenic, CHG-safe option for staff who need daily hand conditioning without compromising antiseptic efficacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing between these comes down to your setting: pump bottles and larger tubes suit central supply and shared stations, while individual packets and small tubes support bedside kits and standardized carts. All carry the same reassurance — they're designed not to interfere with chlorhexidine protocols.
