327-6755 Smith and Nephew IV3000 Catheter Dressing 5cm x 6cm (Pack of 100)
IV3000 is a dedicated range of IV dressings designed to meet the demands of modern IV site care. It is a moisture responsive, transparent film dressing, specifically designed to meet the needs of catheter fixation.IV3000 is made from a unique Reactic film, which is breathable and significantly more permeable to water vapour than ordinary film. The film is waterproof and impermeable to liquids, bacteria and virus’s and while the dressing remains intact protects the IV site from outside contamination. These properties result in drier catheter sites, reduced skin maceration and lower skin colonisation, thus reducing the risk of catheter related infection.One of the most important considerations for IV practitioners is to choose a dressing that protects the catheter site from infection. Guidelines suggest dressings that permit the escape of moisture may be associated with lower rates of skin colonisation helping to prevent catheter related infection.
