Carefusion 260619 - Sterile Benzoin Tincture Applicator, Single-Use for Medical Adhesion Enhancement, 200/BX 10BX/CA
The CareFusion 260619 Sterile Benzoin Tincture Applicator is a single-use, pre-saturated applicator designed to enhance the adhesion of medical tapes, wound dressings, ostomy appliances, and bandages. It is saturated with compound benzoin tincture, a topical adhesive compound widely used to protect the skin and improve dressing retention on difficult areas. Individually wrapped and ready for immediate use, this applicator provides convenience, hygiene, and precision in both clinical and home healthcare settings.
Key Benefits
Improves Dressing Adhesion: The benzoin tincture creates a tacky surface that significantly increases the adherence of medical tapes and dressings, especially in high-moisture or high-movement areas.
Protects Skin from Irritation: Acts as a barrier between the skin and adhesives, reducing the risk of skin breakdown, blisters, or rashes.
Convenient and Hygienic: Individually wrapped for one-time use, ensuring sterility and reducing the risk of contamination or infection.
Portable and Easy to Use: Ideal for quick application in emergency kits, hospital trays, outpatient clinics, and home wound care.
Latex-Free: Safe for patients with latex allergies or sensitivities.
Typical Applications
This product is commonly used in:
Wound care to enhance adhesion of gauze pads, foam dressings, or hydrocolloid patches
Surgical settings to secure post-operative bandages
Ostomy care to maintain the seal of ostomy appliances
IV therapy to keep peripheral lines and central line dressings in place
Home care for dressing changes on patients with sensitive or oily skin
How to Use
Open the sterile pouch and remove the applicator.
Apply the benzoin solution to clean, dry skin where dressing or tape will be placed.
Allow the solution to dry until it becomes tacky (usually 1530 seconds).
Place the medical tape, dressing, or appliance over the treated area.
Discard the applicator after one use following facility or local disposal protocols.
