Description
Smith & Nephew OPSITE IV3000 Ported Film Dressing – 2 Configurations – Size 3½" x 4¾" – OEM Supply is a transparent IV film dressing from Smith & Nephew that seals the catheter site under a transparent, breathable film that keeps the insertion point visible. The line covers size 3½" x 4¾" across 2 configurations, so infusion and ward teams can match the exact size to the wound and the protocol. Each configuration is sold as 50/pkg, 10 pkg/cs with its own item number and price.
- Bacterial Barrier – Moisture creates an ideal environment for bacteria to flourish, with potential for microorganisms to cause serious infection. IV3000 Dressings help to minimise moisture build-up, which is an important feature for catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) prevention strategies.
- Moist Wound Environment – The REACTIC film switches to become more permeable in the presence of moisture by allowing it to evaporate from underneath the dressing.
- Full Size Range – Configurations span size 3½" x 4¾", which keeps one item-number system across the whole range.
- Department Packaging – Sold as 50/pkg, 10 pkg/cs, so supply rooms can stock at the level each department actually uses.
- Wear Time – The dressing is designed to stay in place for up to 7 days, which reduces unnecessary changes.
