IV3000^◊ Moisture Responsive Cannula Fixation Dressing.

IV3000^◊ is a moisture responsive transparent film dressing specifically designed to meet the needs of catheter fixation and to keep the catheter site dry. Independent clinical experts have proven IV3000^◊ to offer safe, secure and cost effective catheter fixation and believe it to be ‘a technological advance for IV site care’.

Reduces risk of infection by preventing moisture accumulation
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.

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. It’s low allergy adhesive and highly permeable Reactic film 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.

Waterproof barrier
IV3000^◊ is waterproof and allows the patient to shower with the dressing in situ.

Easy application and removal
IV3000^◊ is designed to provide easy aseptic application and removal. It's unique grid pattern adhesive reduces pain on removal and so minimises patient discomfort. It also leaves less adhesive residue on the patient’s skin.

For dressing central line, peripheral, epidural and paediatric catheters.

IV3000^◊ should be used on IV sites only. If a film dressing is required for open wounds such as pressure sores, burns or donor sites, OPSITE^◊ Flexigrid Adhesive Film Dressings should be used.

Use on prepared dry skin only.

Do not stack dressings or allow dressings to overlap. Periodically monitor the dressing and catheter site to confirm secure attachment and continued proper infusion, especially after bathing, showering, or if the dressing and catheter site becomes wet. If the dressing comes off, evaluate to ensure proper catheter placement, and then apply a new dressing. As with all adhesive products, apply and remove carefully from sensitive or fragile skin.
