3M Tegaderm IV Advanced Securement Dressing

Transparent film dressings designed to secure the catheter in challenging I.V. applications. Many with notches and borders reinforced with a soft cloth fabric, designed to reduce edge lift and to seal around the insertion site.

• Notched designs provide a better seal around the catheter
• Sterile tape strips are provided on many dressings
• Breathable film allows moisture vapor and oxygen exchange
• Transparency allows monitoring of I.V. sites without the need to remove the dressing
• Waterproof dressing provides a breathable bacterial and viral barrier (contact manufacturer for details) to outside contaminants and allows the patient to shower
• Picture-frame style allows one-handed application and less waste. Unique, non-adhesive handles allow for hassle-free application (1655 & 1650 designs).
• The CDC/HICPAC Guidelines for the Prevention of Intravascular Catheter-Related Infections base dressing change recommendations on studies with Tegaderm Film
• In vitro testing has proven Tegaderm and Tegaderm HP dressings provide a viral barrier from viruses 27 nm in diameter, (e.g. HCV) or larger (e.g. HBV and HIV) while the dressing remains intact without leakage* (contact manufacturer for details)
