The IV3000 Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressing effectively blocks most bacteria from entering IV sites, they can also trap moisture. IV3000, specifically engineered for IV sites, utilises Reactic film and a distinctive grid pattern adhesive to optimise moisture vapour transmission, reducing moisture buildup and bacterial production. With a moisture vapour transmission rate exceeding five times that of its closest competitor, IV3000 effectively keeps moisture levels beneath the dressing at a minimum.
IV3000 dressings are waterproof, allowing users to shower without needing to remove them. The low-allergy, non-irritating adhesive ensures easy removal, promoting patient comfort. Additionally, the long-lasting nature of IV3000 dressings minimises the need for frequent changes, reducing discomfort and the risk of bacterial infection. With the capability to remain in place for up to seven days, IV3000 dressings offer extended wear time, which results in fewer dressing changes.
