IV3000 for Central Line, PICC, Peripheral, or Epidural Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressing

IV3000 Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressings

IV3000 provides a range of IV dressings designed to meet the demands of modern IV site care. These specialized dressings can be applied to difficult areas of the body to secure catheters, IV’s, tubes, and other medical instruments. The transparency of the dressing allows caregivers to monitor the insertion site. The IV3000 is waterproof and allows patients to shower with the dressing in position. It also manages moisture, allowing excess moisture to escape as vapor. The IV3000 comes in four different options to fit the application required by the patient as shown below.
