Smith & Nephew IV3000 Transparent IV Dressing with Frame Delivery, 4 x 4¾ Inches

Support a Drier Catheter Site with a Moisture-Responsive Transparent IV Dressing

Product Description

Moisture buildup and limited visibility can make catheter-site care more challenging. Smith & Nephew OPSITE IV3000 Frame Delivery Dressing provides transparent coverage designed for catheter fixation and IV-site protection. Its moisture-responsive film helps moisture vapor escape from beneath the dressing, while its clear construction allows visual inspection without removing the covering. The 4 x 4¾-inch dressing is available as a single sheet or a box of 50, giving you a choice of supply quantities for clinician-directed home care or professional care settings.

IV3000 uses REACTIC film technology, which becomes more permeable in the presence of moisture to help reduce moisture accumulation. The conformable film follows body contours, and the three-sided delivery frame with large handling tabs helps clinicians position the dressing. Supplied sterile and described in product listings as latex-free, this dressing should be applied according to the manufacturer's instructions and the patient's care plan. Latex-free does not mean allergy-free; assess adhesive sensitivity and keep the individual sterile package intact until use

Features

• Moisture-responsive coverage: REACTIC film becomes more permeable when moisture is present, helping moisture vapor escape from beneath the dressing.
• Clear catheter-site visibility: Transparent film allows visual inspection of the covered site without routinely lifting the dressing.
• Controlled positioning: The frame delivery system helps clinicians place the film over the catheter site during application.
• Glove-friendly handling: Large tabs make the dressing easier to handle when wearing gloves.
• Conformable fit: Flexible film follows body contours to support coverage around the catheter site.
• Flexible ordering quantities: Choose one sterile dressing or a box of 50 dressings, each measuring 4 x 4¾ inches.

Why Choose Smith & Nephew

1. Compared with an opaque gauze covering, IV3000 offers a clear view of the catheter site through the dressing. This visibility supports routine observation without removing the film simply to see the covered area. Dressing selection should still reflect the condition of the site and the clinician's assessment, particularly when absorbency is needed.
2. Rather than relying only on a conventional film covering, IV3000 incorporates moisture-responsive REACTIC technology to help manage moisture beneath the dressing. Its frame delivery system and large handling tabs also support controlled placement, combining moisture management with practical application features.
3. IV3000 is designed for catheter-site coverage and fixation, not as a substitute for prescribed medication, antiseptic skin preparation, or infection treatment. Medicated and antimicrobial products serve different purposes, so a blanket claim that IV3000 is safer would be inappropriate. Choose it when transparent, moisture-responsive coverage fits the care plan, and follow professional guidance for any additional treatment or securement requirements.
