The particularly skin-friendly yet highly reliable adhesive enables virtually painless dressing changes for the patient.

Features and benefits:
IV3000 is a bacteria-proof dressing (also effective against MRSA) for securing cannulas and catheters. The dressing's waterproof film allows the patient to shower at any time. The film's transparency enables easy inspection of the insertion site without removing the dressing. IV3000's high water vapor permeability keeps the puncture site drier than other film dressings. Two additional sterile fixation strips ensure particularly secure catheter fixation. IV3000 minimizes catheter manipulation and dislodgement, thus helping to reduce the risk of phlebitis and associated infections. The documentation label facilitates quick record-keeping during dressing application. The particularly skin-friendly, grid-patterned adhesive ensures virtually painless dressing changes and reduces the risk of skin irritation.
