Smith & Nephew Opsite IV3000 Frame Delivery Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressing

More Information

• Benefits:
  Reduces risk of infection by preventing moisture accumulation:
  - The patented Reactic film in OpSite 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 so reducing bacterial growth and the risk of catheter-related infection
  Minimises unscheduled dressing changes:
  - The higher permeability of OpSite IV3000 keeps the skin drier so improving dressing adherence and reducing the number of unscheduled dressing changes
  Easy application and removal:
  - The Frame Delivery system allows for a quick and easy application of OpSite IV3000, saving time for the clinician
  Excellent catheter stability:
  - The highly conformable OpSite IV3000 film allows the patient to move freely and yet will remain firmly adhered around the catheter hub so ensuring excellent fixation
  - The large border opening allows for the product to be positioned over the IV site with ease
  Convenient visual inspection:
  - OpSite 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:
  - OpSite IV3000 is waterproof and allows the patient to bathe or shower with the dressing in site
• Recommended Indications:
  -Code 59410082 - Peripheral
  -Code 59410882 - Central/PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter)
• Contraindications/Precautions:
  - IV3000 should be used on IV sites only
