IV3000 Frame Delivery Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressing. Features: Moisture responsive High Moisture Vapour Transmission Rate film, Frame Delivery System, Transparent and conformable, Large Border Opening, Contains securing strips and date label. Benefits: 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 vapour than ordinary films. This prevents the accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing so reducing bacterial growth and the risk of catheter-related infection. Minimises unscheduled dressing changes. The higher permeability of IV3000 keeps the skin drier so improving dressing adherence and reducing the number of unscheduled dressing changes. 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.
