3M Tegaderm IV Advanced Film Dressing

Description

The 3M Tegaderm IV Advanced Film Dressing, model 1680, measuring 3.8cm x 4.5cm and supplied in a Pack of 100, is engineered for advanced catheter securement and patient comfort. This dressing is specifically designed for securing IV and central line catheters, including short peripheral and midline venous catheters, Central Venous Catheters (CVCs), Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters (PICCs), tunneled CVCs, implanted infusion devices, arterial catheters, and dialysis catheters. It is also appropriately sized and gentle for pediatric and neonatal patients. Utilizing advanced film technology, this dressing features a highly breathable, transparent film that provides a waterproof, sterile barrier against external contaminants such as liquids, bacteria, and viruses. The innovative design incorporates a dual-patterned adhesive system and a force-shifting notch, which work together to optimize catheter securement, manage moisture, and facilitate gentle removal, thereby reducing the risk of accidental dislodgement.
