Product Description

Smith & Nephew 66004005 - Opsite IV3000 10cm x 12cm

Opsite IV. 3000, Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressing, 10 x 12 cm

IV3000 is a dedicated range of IV dressings designed to meet the demands of modern IV site care. The moisture-responsive technology of IV3000 reacts in the presence of moisture or water by removing it from underneath the dressing, maintaining optimum conditions for the IV incision site which may reduce bacterial growth, and in turn, help the dressing stay in place.

  • Breathable, transparent polyurethane-foil - sterile
  • Simple "one hand" application, even in difficult places
  • Prevents moisture collection
  • Secure and continuous fixation
  • Polyacrylate adhesive applied in rhombus-form for extra permeability
  • Highly moisture permeable, up to eight times higher than other film products
  • Transparency enables visible control of puncture site
  • Safe barrier against germs and bacteria

Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR)

- WHEN IN CONTACT WITH FLUID (IN-VITRO)

IV3000 offers an average moisture vapor transmission rate when in contact with fluid over five times that to the nearest competitor. The high MVTR of IV3000 is designed to keep moisture levels under the dressing to a minimum.

Advantages

Giving More to You and Your Patients

For You

  • Ward educational packages and animated tools to make application training straightforward
  • Support from clinical specialists to answer complex questions on IV site care
  • Visual infusion phlebitis scoring tools to help you spot inflamed blood vessels before they become a problem

For Your Patients

  • IV3000 dressings are waterproof so patients needn't remove them every time they want a shower
  • Our low allergy, non-irritating adhesive is easy to remove, allowing greater patient comfort
  • Long-lasting dressings mean fewer uncomfortable dressing changes

An IV-Site That Protects Your Budget Too

Catheter-related bloodstream infections cost around 6,000 per infection to treat. Reducing bacterial propagation near the IV site is one way of reducing this risk. Another way is to limit exposure of the IV site to the surrounding environment.

IV3000 dressings can be kept in place for up to seven days, meaning fewer dressing changes and less chance of bacterial infection.

  • Creates less need for dressing changes, reducing nursing time
  • Minimises potential for catheter dislodgement, which can help avoid the extra expense of recannulating a patient
