Opsite IV3000 9 x 12cm
IV3000™é a transparent film of high permeability, specifically developed for the protection and fixation of catheters that keep the skin dry at the insertion site. The special film REACTIC™ of IV3000™ has a unique molecular structure. It is characterized by being significantly more permeable to water vapors than conventional films, minimizing the potential for bacterial proliferation. It is impermeable to water and has a viral and bacterial barrier.
Advantages
Minimizes exchanges
- The high permeability of IV 3000 keeps the skin dry and improves adherence, reduces numbers of changes and can remain in place for up to 7 days.
Easy application
- IV3000 is a simple, fast and aseptic application, in a variety of sizes and shapes, for peripheral, central, PICC, midline venous, and pediatric catheters. The system allows the dressing to be positioned correctly on the catheter.
Safety and comfort
- IV3000 presents a hypoallergenic adhesive that does not irritate or sensitize and its high permeability. It avoids maceration and irritation, resulting in smoothness and comfort to the patient's skin.
Prevents moisture accumulation
- Due to its high Water Steam Transmission Rate (MVTR), which is up to 8 times higher than the dressings, with similar functions in the market, the IV3000 ensures that the humidity passes through the film in the form of steam while maintaining its impermeability to bacteria.
Safe Fixation
- The IV3000 1-Hand product range provides extra secure fastening, as it incorporates two sterile fastening strips that guarantee the permanence of the track. It also comes with a label to place the patient's data which ensures a better practice.
Reduction of infection risk
- Bacterial barrier including MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).
- Low incidence of catheter-related septicemia.
- Reduces the risk of infection and bacterial growth by preventing the accumulation of moisture.
- Keeps lower levels of bacterial colonization in the skin.
Contraindications
- For open wounds such as pressure ulcers, burns or donor areas.
Precautions
- Use only on dry skin.
Presentation
- Individually packaged and sterile.
Fenestrado Application
The IV3000™pode be applied after the insertion of the catheter. The skin must be clean, dry, free of oil or hydrating. If it has a lot of hair. it should be removed.
- First step: remove the strips.
- Second step: remove the protective paper nº 2.
- Third step: apply on the catheter for fixation.
- Fourth step: remove the nº 4.
Fifth step: remove the number 3 and wrap the catheter underneath.
Note: Apply the strip with the date and the name of the professional you applied to. The removal should always be done by stretching the film in the direction of the skin.
