Benefits Of Using Smith And Nephew OpSite IV3000 Dressing

 

Reduces risk of infectionIV3000 reduces risk of infection by preventing moisture accumulation. The reactic film in IV3000 has a unique molecular structure which is significantly more permeable to water vapor than ordinary films. This helps prevent the accumulation of moisture underneath the dressing. IV3000 dressing assists in the reduction of bacterial growth and the risk of catheter-related infection.

Minimizes unscheduled dressing changes
The higher permeability of IV3000 dressing keeps the skin drier. It improves the dressing adherence and reduces the number of unscheduled dressing changes.

Greater patient comfort
Opsite IV3000 Standard Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressing is kind to the patient skin. Its low allergy adhesive and highly permeable Reactive film may help prevent skin maceration or irritation. It results in improved patient comfort.

Excellent catheter stability
The highly conformable IV3000 dressing allows the patient to move freely. It will remain firmly adhered around the catheter hub to ensure excellent fixation.

Convenient visual inspection
IV3000 is transparent and allows for regular inspection of the catheter insertion site. It checks for the signs of infection or phlebitis without the need for dressing removal.

Easy application and removal
Opsite Dressing
is designed to provide easy aseptic application and removal. It reduces pain on removal due to grid adhesive spread and minimizes patient discomfort on removal. Smith and Nephew IV3000 also leaves less adhesive residue on the patient skin.

How To Use Opsite IV3000 Dressing?

Instructions For Using Opsite IV3000    Step 1: Clean and thoroughly dry application area. Remove approximately half of the protector paper and center the IV3000 dressing over the insertion site.
Instructions For Using Opsite IV3000    Step 2: Smooth the Opsite IV3000 Dressing down on to the patient skin working from the catheter outwards and remove the remaining protector paper. Be careful not to apply the dressing under tension.
Instructions For Using Opsite IV3000    Step 3: The protector paper may be removed from the orange tape handles and the entire handle adhered to the patient skin.
Instructions For Using Opsite IV3000    Step 4: Alternatively a portion of the tape handles can be torn off with the protector paper still in place. This can then be removed and the tape handles used to help secure the catheter hub or tubing. They may also be used for documentation.
 
Step 5: Remove Opsite IV3000 Standard Moisture Responsive Catheter Dressing by loosening the orange handles and stretching the dressing parallel to the patient skin. Stabilize the patient skin and catheter with the other hand. Alternatively, use an alcohol wipe to break the adhesive seal. If the skin is particularly fragile, then warm soap and water may be used to break the adhesive bond and to ease the dressing off.

Precautions while using Opsite IV3000 Dressing

  • IV Dressing should be used on IV sites only
  • If a film dressing is required for open wounds such as pressure sores, burns or donor sites, Smith & Nephew Adhesive Film Dressings should be used

  • Do not stack dressings or allow dressings to overlap
  • Periodically monitor the dressing and catheter site to confirm secure attachment and continued proper infusion, especially after bathing, showering, or if the dressing and catheter site becomes wet
  • If the dressing comes off, evaluate to ensure proper catheter placement, and then apply a new dressing
  • As with all adhesive products, apply and remove carefully from sensitive or fragile skin
