IV3000◊ with a moisture responsive high MVTR and bacterial barrier film

IV3000_MoistureResponsive
  • The patented REACTIC◊ film used to make 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, reducing bacterial growth and the risk of catheter-related infection.
  • The higher permeability of IV3000◊ keeps the skin drier, improving dressing adherence and reducing the number of unscheduled dressing changes.
  • 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.

IV3000◊ provides greater patient comfort

IV3000_PatientComfort
  • IV3000◊ is kind to the patient’s skin.  Its low allergy adhesive and highly permeable REACTIC◊ film help prevent skin maceration or irritation and result in improved patient comfort.
  • The unique grid pattern adhesive makes dressing removal easier than with ordinary films.  It reduces pain on removal and leaves less adhesive residue on the patients skin.
  • 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.
  • IV3000◊ is waterproof and allows the patient to shower with the dressing in situ.
