IV3000 1-Hand Moisture Responsive Cannula Fixation Dressing IV3000 1-Hand is a moisture responsive transparent film dressing specifically designed to meet the needs of catheter fixation and to keep the catheter site dry. The 1-Hand delivery system provides quick and easy aseptic application to all major catheter types.
Indications:
- IV3000 1-Hand is indicated for peripheral and central venous catheter fixation
- Provides physical separation between the catheter site and external environments to assist in preventing contamination of the catheter site
- Creates an environment for managing moisture at the catheter site through increased moisture vapor transmission rates
Features:
- Moisture responsive high moisture vapor transmission rate film
- Grid pattern adhesive
- Transparent and conformable
- 1-Hand delivery system
- Film acts as a barrier to bacteria including MSRA
Benefits:
- May help reduce 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 may help prevent the accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing and assists in the reduction of 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.
- Greater patient comfort - IV3000 is kind to the patient's skin. Its low allergy adhesive and highly permeable REACTIC film may help prevent skin maceration or irritation and result in improved patient comfort.
- 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.
- 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.
- Easy application and removal - the 1-Hand delivery system is designed to provide quick and easy aseptic application. It also allows the dressing to be applied with one hand if required leaving the other hand free to stabilise the catheter or patient. The unique grid pattern adhesive makes dressing removal easier than with ordinary films and leaves less adhesive residue on the patient's skin.
