Reduces risk of infection by preventing moisture accumulation
- The
patented REACTIC* film in IV3000 has a unique molecular structure
which is significantly more permeable to water vapor than ordinary
films. This prevents the accumulation of moisture underneath the
dressing so reducing bacterial growth and the risk of catheter-related
infection.
Minimizes unscheduled dressing changes
- The
higher permeability of IV3000 keeps the skin drier so improving
dressing adherence and reducing the number of unscheduled dressing
changes.
- The
date and inserter label also enables clinicians to monitor the length of
time the dressing has been in place for easy application and removal.
- The
Frame Delivery system allows for a quick and easy application of IV3000,
saving time for the clinician.
Excellent catheter stability
- The
highly conformable IV3000 film allows the patient to move freely
and yet will remain firmly adhered around the catheter hub so ensuring
excellent fixation. The large border opening allows for the
product to be positioned over the IV site with ease.
Convenient visual inspection
- IV3000
is transparent and so allows regular inspection of the catheter
insertion site for signs of infection or phlebitis without the need for
dressing removal.
Waterproof barrier
- IV3000
is waterproof and allows the patient to bathe or shower with the
dressing in situ.
