3M 1650 Tegaderm I.V. Transparent Dressing Instructions for Use

• Open package and remove sterile dressing. Peel the liner from the dressing, exposing the adhesive surface. The tape strips will remain attached to this piece.
• Optional: Secure catheter with tape strips if desired. Position the transparent portion of the dressing so that it is centred over the insertion site, while holding the notched portion off the skin.
• Position the dressing so the notch fits snugly around the catheter port and under the hub. The notched portion of the dressing will help to secure the catheter. Overlap the tabs under the catheter to form a tight seal. Gently press dressing into place.
• Slowly remove the frame while smoothing down the dressing edges, moving from the centre outwards. Use firm pressure to enhance adhesion.
• Sterile tape strips can be used over the catheter wings or hub to enhance catheter stability, or to secure IV tubing or stabilise catheter lumens. Record information on label, remove from frame then place on or near the dressing.
• Easy to remove. Firstly remove tape strips. Separate cloth tabs and avoid skin trauma by gently peeling the dressing back on itself whilst supporting the skin, rather than pulling it up from the skin. A medical adhesive solvent can also be used if required.
