Smith & Nephew IV3000 1-Hand Peripheral Catheter Dressing, 2-3/8 x 2¾ Inch (900/CS)

Yes, the IV3000 dressing is specifically engineered for optimal moisture management around the insertion site.

• High Permeability: It utilizes a specialized moisture-responsive film with a High Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR). This advanced feature allows excess moisture vapor to escape, effectively keeping the skin beneath the dressing drier.
• Enhanced Adherence: Maintaining dry skin is crucial as it significantly improves dressing adherence, which reduces the likelihood of lifting and minimizes the need for unscheduled dressing changes.

Yes, this IV3000 dressing features the specialized 1-Hand delivery system. This mechanism is designed for easy, efficient, and conformable application, ensuring the dressing adapts smoothly to the contours of the body.

Yes, the Smith & Nephew IV3000 dressing is designed with a highly advanced, transparent, and conformable film.

This design is a key feature that provides two main benefits:

• Continuous Monitoring: Healthcare professionals can visually inspect the underlying insertion site (such as an IV access point) without needing to remove the dressing, which helps maintain site integrity.
• Secure and Comfortable Fit: The conformable film, combined with the grid pattern adhesive, ensures a secure fit while minimizing patient discomfort.

Yes, the Smith & Nephew IV3000 dressing features a conformable design that allows it to adapt smoothly to the body’s contours, providing a secure and comfortable fit for the insertion site.

Key features supporting its stability and conformability include:

• Grid Pattern Adhesive: This specific structure ensures secure placement while maintaining the flexibility of the dressing.
• Moisture-Responsive Film: The film has a High Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR), which keeps the underlying skin drier. This is crucial because drier skin significantly improves dressing adherence and reduces the frequency of unscheduled changes.

Yes, the Smith & Nephew IV3000 dressing is designed with a specialized grid pattern adhesive.

This feature ensures:

• Secure Placement: It provides reliable fixation and high adherence to the skin.
• Conformability: The grid pattern allows the dressing to maintain conformability around the insertion site.

The grid pattern adhesive works effectively alongside the highly permeable, moisture-responsive film. By keeping the skin drier, this combination significantly improves dressing adherence and helps reduce the frequency of unscheduled changes.

Yes, the Smith & Nephew IV3000 dressing is specifically engineered to maintain optimal skin conditions, thereby minimizing factors that lead to irritation.

This benefit is achieved primarily through its Moisture Responsive Film which features a High Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR). This advanced technology works by:

• Keeping Skin Drier: The high MVTR allows excess moisture vapor (perspiration) to escape, preventing moisture build-up beneath the film.
• Improving Adherence: By maintaining drier skin, the dressing adheres more securely and comfortably.
• Reducing Changes: Improved adherence helps reduce the frequency of unscheduled dressing changes, minimizing manipulation of the insertion site.

The dimensions for each individual Smith & Nephew IV3000 film dressing are 6 cm x 7 cm.

This product is packaged in a carton (CTN) containing 100 units of the Smith & Nephew IV3000 dressing. These dressings measure 6 cm x 7 cm.

The primary benefit is its ability to keep skin drier, which significantly improves dressing adherence and reduces the frequency of unscheduled dressing changes, promoting better skin health at the site.

The typical lead time for shipping this product is 2-3 weeks, as it ships directly from the manufacturer via MFI Medical.
