Description

IV3000™ is a transparent film dressing specifically designed to secure and protect intravenous catheter insertion sites.

Its REACTIC™ technology responds to increasing moisture beneath the dressing by increasing moisture vapour transmission. This helps reduce moisture accumulation and maceration, permits visual inspection of the insertion site and supports the reduction of catheter-related complications.

INDICATIONS

• Peripheral intravenous catheters.
• Central venous catheters.
• Peripherally inserted central catheters, PICCs.
• Paediatric catheters.
• Catheter exit sites.
• Epidural catheters, depending on the selected format and clinical protocol.

EFFECT/TECHNOLOGY

• Transparent film with REACTIC™ technology.
• Increases moisture vapour transmission when moisture accumulates.
• Helps keep the catheter site dry.
• Reduces moisture build-up beneath the dressing.
• Helps reduce the risk of skin maceration.
• Allows visual inspection without dressing removal.
• Grid-pattern adhesive designed to reduce pain during removal.
• Provides catheter fixation and site protection.
• Available in ported, non-ported and different application-system formats.

It should be selected and applied according to the catheter type and the relevant institutional protocol.
